I know, but I still need to build each new release of C-Kermit on every
possible combination to make sure they all still work. You can't take this
for granted -- small changes in VMS or TCP/IP-product header files can do a
great deal of damage to previously working builds. Similarly, small changes
in Kermit can introduce conflicts with symbols that are defined in some
obscure header file. And so on.
