This is the first version of C-Kermit published under
an Open Source license: the Simplified 3-Clause BSD license
(the previous test version, Alpha.09, had the old "non-free"
license).  Beta.01 has some new features, including a 
strenghened version of the Kermit file transfer protocol
and a new (but backwards-compatible) simplified way of
using variables in scripts.  It's been built and somewhat
tested on more than 50 different platforms.  You can read
about it and download it here:

Send success/failure reports and/or patches to:

  kermit@columbia.edu.

Thanks.
