TITLE
XPR Kermit
VERSION
2.37
AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION
XPR Kermit is an implementation of the Kermit file transfer
protocol written as an Amiga external protocol (XPR). This means that
any terminal program which follows the XPR specification can use XPR
Kermit to transfer files using the Kermit protocol. The Kermit file
transfer protocol is very robust, and is the only major protocol which
can transfer binary files over lines which do not transparently pass
all 256 8-bit characters. It is also very widely available on
everything from ancient minicomputers with 16K of RAM to the latest
supercomputers.
For more information on Kermit, Amiga users should refer to
the book "Using C Kermit" by Frank da Cruz and Christine Gianone.
NEW FEATURES
Version 2.37 of XPR Kermit fixes an embarrassing bug which meant
XPR Kermit never freed the memory it allocates for file transfers. The
fix was simple; thanks to John Ata for reporting the problem. ALL USERS
of XPR Kermit should get this latest release.
