We have completed the posting of C-Kermit 4.2 to Usenet's net.sources
and it has already left our system. Each of the 11 parts to the posting are
less than 64K in size and are in "shar" archives to help them through the
various hungry news eaters out there! Problems with the posting should be
reported to one of the following addresses:
UUCP: {cbosgd, ea, ihnp4, isucs1, mcvax, pesnta, uokvax}!okstate!uucp-support
ARPA: uucp-support%okstate.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa
Please note that due to several VERY loud pleas we will not be posting
C-Kermit again for several months. I *hope* that people on Usenet will use
common sense and follow our lead. Hopefully by the time we are ready to make
the next posting, C-Kermit will have settled down and become a more stable
piece of code!
We have received many requests to send parts of the Kermit sources
by electronic mail. We cannot honor these requests out of respect for our
UUCP neighbor's telephone bills. We are also not set up to make tapes in
any form of the distribution. Columbia University provides tapes and typeset
copies of the documentation at a reasonable price and is quite good at this
type of distribution.
Of course the UUCP Kermit Distribution line will remain in operation
as long as there is interest from the UUCP community or until the State of
Oklahoma cuts our budget again... If people on UN*X systems want the "latest
and greatest" version of *any* Kermit they are welcome to contact our system
and UUCP it away.
Thanks,
