- It's in MS-Kermit for DOS, not in C-kermit for DOS. MS-Kermit is
- (I believe) written in assembler, is much older than C-Kermit,
- and is less portable. It also has better features, alas. A similar
- situation exists in VMS, where VMS Kermit is written in Bliss/VAX Macro,
- and has many useful VMS specific features, while C-kermit does not.
