We're going to press shortly with the C-Kermit 8.0 CDROM; it's in pretty
good shape in terms of current C-Kermit binaries for many platforms,
but there's always room for improvement.  If you can build C-Kermit on
any platform for which we don't yet have an 8.0.206 binary, we can put
it on the CDROM if you send it in soon.  You can find the current list
of binaries here:

Instructions for making and sending in new ones are here:

Thanks!

However, is there really any differennce between such a build and one built
with TCPIP 5.1 which you already have ? (TCPIP = UCX).

Also, just a comment, in the list of OS at the top of the page, just use
"DEC Tru64, DEC VMS" instead of "DEC/Compaq/HP VMS" etc.

Or as a compromise, "DEC/HP VMS".

The word Compaq doesn't belong anywhere near "VMS" and it just make things
look far more complicated than they really are.

Understood, but on the other hand if I left it out somebody else would
complain.  This way more searches succeed.  Also, it *is* more complicated;
e.g. DEC OSF/1 and Digital Unix, but Compaq and HP Tru64 (DEC never called it
Tru64, unless I'm mistaken)...  Plus, if you think it's complicated now, just
wait til VMS comes out on IA64.  Then we'll have:

 (VAX vs Alpha vs IA64) x ([Open]VMS version) x (TCP product) x (TCP version)

How inconsiderate of DEC to complicate our lives by making products that
never die.  I've got a VAX upstairs running VMS 5.5 that hasn't been rebooted
in years.  And I don't even feel that I'm tempting fate by saying that.

Anyway back to the point -- the binaries we need the most right now are for
older platforms: Digital Unix 3.x, OSF/1, VMS prior to 5.5, Ultrix versions
prior to 4.5.  The AT&T 3B2.  Solaris prior to 2.5.1.  The Sun3 and Sun4.
Any version of AIX besides 4.3.3.  Any version of AIX, SunOS, or Solaris
with X.25 support.  Older versions of IRIX or DG/UX.  Any version of
NeXTSTEP, OpenSTEP, ESIX, or NCR MP-RAS.  Unicos... Are there any Crays left
out there?

There are also some new platforms I don't have binaries for yet -- QNX 6.1,
Zaurus, Ipaq...  Oh yeah, and some other new Linux-based PDA (not Zaurus)
from Korea, can't remember its name just now.

Built for UCX it will run on TCPIP, Multinet and TCPware also.
Built on ancient/earlier VMS versions it will run on more recent ones also.

I used an image of 1978 (TAPECOPY.EXE) up to the late 90s...
