G'day ! I have downloaded kermit (file apppro.bns) from watsun.cc.columbia.edu, and tried to install it. I *did* read the help files, and run the README file, which both told me to run install.kermit before starting. Did that and it crashed into the monitor. Now there is a note in the README file that says some //c's (I guess the good old boat-anchor :-) must have an upgrade to run kermit 3.87. Is this true, or am I just doing something wrong ? For those of you who want to know what exactly I did : binsciied the apppro.bns file, unshrunk it to a 5.25" disk, "-"ed the README file (which is a sys file), ran the startup (bas) file, and "-"ed the install.kermit file. Crash. Tried it without running the startup file, to no avail. Could anyone knowledgeable point me in the right direction ? Thanks in advance. BTW, I didn't try the DOS3.3 version, and I would prefer the ProDOS version anyway. My second query relates to shareware fees. Here I am Down Under (Terra Australis for those of you who wonder where it is :-), and would like to use shareware programs, like Problock and other utilities. Has anybody, user and author of shareware alike, got any ideas on how payment can be made from outside US to US authors ? No personal cheques possible in my case. Thanks for any info. I could always offer one (or two) nights bed and breakfast in Melbourne in payment :-) Andrew Guillaume Internet : a.guillaume@trl.oz.au

Of course this is against postal regulations or some such legal rubbish, and so I did not suggest it and don't know anyone who does such an evil thing ;-) -- Stephen Harker phs172m@vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au Monash University Baloney baffles brains: Eric Frank Russell

I could always offer one (or two) nights bed and I suggest International Postal Money orders. One our overseas members asked the same question in relation to paying dues. He took out an International Postal Money order. proline: pro-novapple!daveharv | uucp: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv | Pro-novapple BBS arpa: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv@nosc.mil | 300/1200/2400/9600 Baud Internet: daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com | 703-671-0416 | Northern Virginia Apple Users Group | P.O.
