Moral: even if you use Kermit under ProDOS, save the most recent DOS 3.3
disk you had to make to EXEC the EZ Install and then use that to download
the next version when it comes along.

The EZ Install works only under DOS 3.3 (sometimes it's amazing that it
works at all, but if you are *especially* nice, it WILL work :-).  Some
Apples (with only 48K -- make nice "dumb terminals" even if they can't
run the latest gee whiz software) and old Franklin's (which don't have
a patched ProDOS around) wouldn't be able to make a new version if Kermit's
EZ Install only worked under ProDOS.
