As most of you know, I've been working ever since 2003 to try to convince
Columbia University management to authorize spending some money to produce
a new release of Kermit 95 for Windows.  With Windows Vista on the horizon
and galloping towards us, the matter takes on a new urgency.  As far as I
can tell:

K95 2.1.3 works OK on Vista: but there are some bumps, and I did not have
the opportunity to test every little thing.  In any case, it's not just
Vista.  I've written a little sketch of some of the issues and of what
Kermit 95 3.0 might look like here:

and I put up a survey to collect some info from K95 users here:

  http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95survey.html

I'd appreciate it if all K95 users would take the time to fill it out.
It's anonymous and all answers are optional.  The new management here
needs some convincing, and in the end the marketplace speaks loudest.

Thanks.
