I've been porting Kermit-65 from the Commodore world to the 800
environment, and am in the last throes of cleaning it up for first
release to the net.  (Maybe it'll satisfy some of the folks clamoring
for PD terminal emulators...)  The question of the day is:  How would
anyone like to see it posted?  In its current form, there's two files, a
binary executable of about 24K, and a doc file of about 32K.  My
preference would be to ARC them up, and distribute the uuencoded
archive, but I don't know how many folk might find that inconvenient, or
what other cosiderations there are.  Also, it's arranged such that the
loader for the RS232 handler is a separate load segment, which means you
can use your own (mine's an 850).  How many people are interested in the
kermit module by itself, without the RS232 loader?  Finally, is anyone
interested in the sources?  They're about 400K, so I'm certainly not
going to mail them around, but something else can be worked our for
anyone who cares.  I'm amenable to any suggestions about how best to
distribute the thing, but get your responses in soon, I'd like to get
this out of the way by next week.
