Hi Sean,

     This is my last UpDate to "Kermit on TeleGard" of October 20:

SD> ...internal variables...  ...happy to send you MCI.REF...
MS> ...time to get a glimpse...  ...stay tuned for more UpDates!...
MS> What i need to know, right now, is:  1) how long the command-line
MS> can be in a .PDF;  2) can the internal variables...  ...such as
MS> "~CP"...  ...be read as DOS environment variables;  3) how much
MS> memory `MS-Kermit' and `C-Kermit' are using.  I hope that's enough
MS> information to play with `Kermit'...  ...keep me informed...

     I've found a newer `C-Kermit' 16-Bits version on Pete Norloff's BBS
at telnet://bbs.os2bbs.com/ (an `OS/2' system, by the way)!  It's called
`C-Kermit 5A(190)' and it dates back to November 16, 1994;  get it here:

     ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/cko190.zip (790 Kb)

     This is the LAST release with a 16-Bits `OS/2' version included.  I
noticed some improvements like the "ReSend" feature (which would support
Transfer Recovery), the passing of `OS/2' File Attributes and the ~REXX~
interface.  This version won't execute in a `W32' DOS windows at all, it
was IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DETERMINE IF CONNECTION SPEED HAS BEEN IMPROVED
as well.  What i can say is that the command-line is very different from
that of `MS-Kermit', i only see good reasons to pick `MS-Kermit' instead
of `C-Kermit' but i done no test with a `OS/2' environment, much less on
`TeleGard/2'!  That's about all i can tell under such conditions, sorry.

                                    Salutations,  ;-)
