[comp.windows.ms] Kermit for Win 3.0

barryf@aix01.aix.rpi.edu (Barry B. Floyd) (05/17/91)

I recently downloaded a "test" version of Kermit for Win 3.0 from Columbia.
William S. Hall is listed in the documentation as author of the documentation
and/or the code. An e-mail address (william@novell.com) is provided, though
it doesn't work.
 
Is there another address available for William, or another location to
send comments and suggestions?
 
Though I only used the program for a few minutes and I realized it is 
only a test version, I believe a few fundamental features are missing.

1) File - Exit
 
2) Hardware hangup - DTR
 
3) User defined file naming for destination files
 
4) Convenient way to temporarily change parity settings for purposes of
   transfering files (e.g. normally set to none, set to even for file
   transfers) 
 
5) MSKERMIT.INI-like key mapping (can I copy an old MSKERMIT.INI file to the
   KERMIT section of the WIN.INI file?)
