well, i also encountered problems with those files from .binaries:
kermit execs fine, but when i brun the thing it reads the first command
from kermit.init then wants the next, but the next prompt looks like
KERMIT-65>\ where the '\' is inverse, and then everything comes to a halt.
i'm sure i didnt make a mistake, since i succeeded in installing ver 3.79 etc.
now for z-link: the first file is 96Kbytes which seems a bit too big, anyway
after many of the usual monitor (*) prompts it simply goes I/O ERROR, sigh.
what made me suspicious then was that BOTH files had the same commands at the
end ! (bsave z.link.bn1,a$1000,l$c500<CR>e00g<CR><CR>bload z.link.bn1,a$2000<CR>
bsave z.link.bny,a$2000,l$5c00,b$5c00)
whats wrong ???

Try editing KERMIT.INIT with a word processor see if it's got something peculiar in it. To tell the truth, I haven't used the KERMIT.INIT that unpacks with Kermit since maybe version 3.79. I have a few extra things in mine (like SET PARITY EVEN) so I always toss out whatever the EZ INSTALL makes and use my old one. You can RENAME the KERMIT.INIT to something else (KERMIT.INI for instance). When you BRUN KERMIT385 you should get a message that the INIT file wasn't found and end up at the prompt. Try TYPE KERMIT.INI (or whatever you renamed the file) and see if it reads ok. You can SET whatever you need to by hand (you can get a crash if the INIT file thinks the serial port or 80 column card are somewhere other than indicated) and CONNECT (that at least should tell you if the program's ok and the INIT file simply bunged up somehow. >now for z-link: the first file is 96Kbytes which seems a bit too big, anyway Somehow you seem to have concatonated the TWO files into one. I haven't gone to the trouble of an exact byte count (I deleted the downloaded versions to make room to unpack the BNY file after I'd got it created -- a hazard of working on 5.25" disks :-), but my host says each of the two parts takes 13 4K blocks (max of 52K each file). >what made me suspicious then was that BOTH files had the same commands at the >end !

beeing used to the problems kermit had with the init file in earlier
version, i simply deleted the thing (as i was used to) but kermit
still froze after it issued the file not found message...
a possible cause might be: do kermit 3.85 and the new zlink need prodos 8 1.x ?
i am currently forced to use 1.1.1 because prodos 8 won't work with my 160 track
floppies and my harddisk went up in smoke 2 weeks ago.
that is, i get unclaimed interrupts when i run zlink and had to install a
interrupt handler at lowest priority that claims all IRQs that reach him...
sigh...
