Hi, glad to see the author of a fine program....
 
I have several questions for you....
What is the latest released version of Kermit?                    
I see that you are working on the next version. Do you
know when that will be finished and released?
 
And also, I know that having a BI 80 columns cards makes the
display of the characters in 80 columns mode much clear, but
how about speed? Is the scrolling of the screen much quicker?
 
Scott.
