     I have a copy of a public domain Kermit that I consider very good. There
is only one hangup, when uploading/downloading it uses true ascii and when 
you put it on the disk drive it is still true ascii, so that you must convert
the text files, once that is done everything is ok. I resolved that by writing
my own sequential file convertor. If you give me your address I could make you
a copy of Kermit and toss in the convertor and some extra kermit docs that I 
have hanging around that would help you. 
P.S. It is for the 64.
