	I am the arthur of Commodore-64/Commodore-128 Kermit Version 2.0.
I posted the article announcing its release.

	You have _NOT_ been the victum of a bad April Fool's joke.

	You will receive your disk shortly.

	You have the right file.  Its on the order of 356Kbytes.  That is
more that two 1541s can handle. (but just the right size for a PDP.     (=: )

	The assembler I use is the assembler used for Apple Kermit, with
a few additional hacks I added myself.  Unfortunately, the people in charge of
Kermit distribution don't seem to be interested in obtaining my version of the
assembler.   ((so what good is the source code if you cant assemble it??))

	Currently, the only way to get Kermit 2.0 is from Dr. Evil Labs.
