"wermit" is the name of the executable produced by "make kermit" using
the standard Columbia distribution of UNIX C Kermit.  The latest version
of Amiga Kermit is 4C(061), and that should be the version number you
see.  However, I don't believe any versions much earlier than 4C(057)
or so had any serious multiple-file transfer bugs.

I've not done it with the VT100 V2.2 Kermit, but in general, you'd do
something like:

C-Kermit>send *.c
	[now select "Receive Kermit files" either as a command if you
	 have Amiga C Kermit or as the pull-down menu item from VT100.
	 Remember to ChangeDir to the directory you want the files to
	 go into first! There is a menu item for this in VT100 V2.2.]

That's it.  To go the other way, type the "receive" command to C Kermit,
and give VT100 a list of files to send.  I believe it understands
multiple file names separated by commas, but not wild cards, though I
could be wrong.  The sending Kermit sends a special packet at the end
of a file transfer of either one or several files so the receiver knows
when to stop listening.
     Hope this helps!
