     Here at Penn State, we can get Kermits for any machine straight from
Columbia Univ. through BITNET.  Any BITNET site running VM/CMS can get the
c64 version by saying "tell kermsrv at cuvma send c64* *" .  This will fill
up your disk space with about 20 files, including source, binary, and
documentation for C64-Kermit.  To find out what other Kermits are available,
you can say "tell kermsrv at cuvma dir", and you'll get the current list.
     
     For those of you without direct access to BITNET, I'd be happy to e-mail
the appropriate files to you, or post them to the net if I get swamped.  Be
aware that bootstrapping it is not trivial, and requires at least a relocatable
monitor like Supermon.  The authors have included complete booting instructions
and a simple Basic routine to download the files from your mainframe.
     
     C64-Kermit is written in CROSS assembler.  There is also a FORTH version
available, but I don't have FORTH, so I haven't tried it.
