MS-DOS Kermit runs on the HP100LX because the machine is MS-DOS
based. Kermit's are available on the OmniBook when running
either MS-DOS or one of the Windows varients because someone
spent a lot of time to write them.
The Windows CE machines are not capatible with any of the
existing Operating systems, must importantly, Windows CE
is not compatible with Windows 95/98/NT. Therefore, we can't
just re-compile existing Kermit versions to work with them.
A Kermit for Windows CE will either require that someone donate
enough money to the Kermit Project to hire someone to develop
it or develop it on their own. Unfortunately, I do not forsee
either happening in the near future.
