I've been using Kermit 3.14 under Win95 for one simple reason: The
entire screen is given over to text in an 80-col VT320 display, unless
I choose myself to put the DOS-session into a window. It's primary
disadvantage, for my purposes, is that it doesn't use the TCP/IP stack in
Win95.
After reading the K95 FAQ, I have three questions about whether some
specific advantages of Kermit 3 survive in K95:
1. As a console-mode app, is K95 essentially indistinguishable from
Kermit 3.14 run full-screen? For example, I'm using the default text
mode for Kermit 3.14 and don't want to discover that it has been
replaced by a graphics mode font-based emulation that only approximates
the very readable text-mode text supplied in Kermit and by no GUI-based
windows app that I've seen.
2. As a console-mode app, is K95 "windowable" for the purpose of cutting
text from the screen for pasting into a text-mode dos app?
3. When K95 goes "wholly" GUI, will console mode still be available,
and, if so, will the answers to 1 and 2 change?
Thanks in advance,
