Distribution File Inventory

Kermit for Windows is distributed in two separate formats.  As a
16 bit application for Standard Windows and as a 32 bit application for
Windows NT.  The author supplies both versions as a zip file.

KMN080.ZIP       Kermit for Windows NT (32 bit application)

Each of the above distribution archives contain the same files.

KERMIT.EXE       Kermit for Windows executable program file
KERMIT.HLP       MS Windows Help File for Kermit
KERMTTY.TRM      Teletype terminal emulation dynamic link library

CTL3DV2.DLL      Windows DLL for 3D effects in dialog boxes

*************
Documentation
*************

The primary documentation for this program is contained in the file
KERMIT.WRI.  This is a Windows Write formatted file.  To view or
print the documentation, start Windows Write from inside of Windows
and open the Kermit documentation file.  You may then scroll through
the documentation or print it by choosing Print from the File Menu.

******************
Session Save Files
******************

The format of the data (session) files for this release are compatible
with all versions since (and including) version 0.76.  If you are 
upgrading from a release earlier than 0.76, you must manually recreate 
each of your session save files for this release (I considered writing 
a conversion program, but decided this release had been held up long enough).

************
Installation
************

Please refer to the program documentation in KERMIT.WRI for detailed
installation instructions.

Pay attention to the instructions concerning the CTL3D DLL files.  You
will receive error messages if these files are not properly installed.

Also note that to take advantage of the new TCP/IP (Telnet) support
you must acquire and install a WinSock library separately.  Windows NT
comes with one and Microsoft is now providing one for Windows for
Workgroups for free.

Yes, I know I should really create an installation program!

Note that you must use pkunzip version 2.04 or greater to correctly
expand the kermit archive.

************
Enhancements
************

Support has been added for TCP/IP (Telnet), Color Text Attributes, 
and a Scrollback Buffer.  Please see the program documentation in
KERMIT.WRI for more information.

Thank You

I wish to thank all of the current users of this program who have
provided both suggestions and good wishes.  I regret that my limited
time prevents me from enhancing this software in a more timely manner.

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
