    Unfortunatly, Eric, you are quite right.  Kermit is a bit big to post to
the net.  I don't want to mail it to somebody if I can mail it to everybody,
and I just can't do that.

    The address you are looking for is:

		Dr. Evil Laboratories
		P.O. Box 190
		St. Paul, IN 47272

    Please include $5.00 (US funds) to cover the costs of the disk, the mailer,
and postage.  The program itself is free.

    If you don't want to spend $5.00, there are many other ways to get this
program.  Since it is public domain, you can copy it from a friend.  If you
have access to the ARPA net, you can use anonymous ftp to get the files from
cu20b.columbia.edu  (You want ker:c64v2.hex).  If you are on BITNET, you can
get the files from KERMSRV@CUVMA (type "tell kermsrv at cuvma help").  If you
dont mind paying dialup charges, you can get the files from Oklahoma State
University (I don't know how, but I can find out if anyone has any interest).

    Also, many people have posted Kermit to their favorite bulletin boards (I
believe Qlink has a copy).

P.S.
    If any of you have a favorite feature that you want added to Kermit 2.1,
you better send me mail soon or hold your peace until Kermit 2.2.
