Now, lets see.  I was ranting and still have a bad attitude.  "I dont seem
to read enough."  "I am ignorant."  "If you can do better, then you do it."

These are just some of the nameless letters I have received re: my bad
atitude about KERMITs  app385.1 and app385.2.

Sorry, but I just did the impossible; I was unable to retreive the EASY
file install for kermit!  WHY?  ONE LITTLE DETAIL WAS LEFT OUT!  I know
what that detail is...but what about some guy thats getting kermit for
someone that has never used an APPLE(tm)?  They need header information
on the file format of the EXEC TEXT file.  How should the lines be placed?
re: 0x0D only?   0x8D only?  or...should it have 0x0D 0x0A?  Since the
Exec files are to be USER FRIENDLY?..and EXEC,R25 does not give you any
hint at what is going on...BAD ERROR HANDLING:

Augment the error handling for the stupid guys like me:  ADD a single
line to the rest of the headers of :

THIS NEEDS ONLY <RETURNS> after each line in the form of 0X8D

Too many file formats in net land to leave that line out!
