Thanks to Jim Knutson (ut-ngp!knutson) for posting MSDOS kermit. If it's
as good as the older PCKERMIT that we are currently running, it's nice
to see it get the wide distribution that it deserves.
However, I had a few problems extracting the files using sh. There are
about 8 or 10 places where //go.sysin (the marker used by sh to indicate
the end of a here document) did not begin at the beginning of the line,
so it was not found, so extra stuff would end up in the file being extracted
and some files would be missing. I edited all 7 files of the distribution
and made sure that //go.sysin always began at the beginning of a line.
My guess on how this happened is that some of the original files that
Jim created his archives did not end with newlines (the offending files
seem to be mostly MSDOS Basic or data files).
