Here are two generally unrelated questions (maybe):

  First, can someone tell me what the most recent version of Kermit
for the mac is and how to get it given that I have access to only usenet?

  Second, I was using my data frame the other noght and had a really strange
problem I would like to share. I double clicked on a folder icon and the Mac
proceeded to open the file as it normally does. But after the folder opened,
the mouse quit responding (ie I could not move the pointer on the screen).
I could still click on the file where the pointer was (it reversed the 
background) but could not double click to open the file. After pressing the 
handy dandy reset switch, I clicked on the folder again, but opened it from the
file menu, and low and behold everything worked fine!
  Well, to make a long story short, I discovered that there was a file in
the directory which must have been corrupted somehow (I suspect the 
directory entry). After, a long process of moving files, I happened 
to move this peticular file to another folder and the problem followed it. 
After removing the file everything seems to be OK now.
  My question is this, is this a common problem? If so where do I go to get 
it fixed? Apple for the system/finder or Supermac for the driver/drive?
One more thing, I am using finder version 5.3 and whatever system came with
it.
  Any help with either of these two questions would be much appreciated, and
as usual, mail via the above path would be best. I will summarize to the net
if there is enough interest. Thank You...
