Version 3.5 of Kermit-40 provides the following:


     Main features:

 *   Inclusion of Server mode.
 *   Repeat count prefixing available.
 *   Receive command can be specified with a filename.
 *   A file of initialising commands can be read at the start of a  Kermit 
     run, as provided for in some Kermits as a 'TAKE' file.
 *   Packets of up to 94 characters can now be sent, and upto 80 characters 
     can be received.
                                                                           
     Bugs fixed:

 *   Overprints were still output to &KERMLOG, this has been fixed.
 *   Error messages from the Send command were incorrect.
 *   I/O buffers have been enlarged, to prevent  overwriting  problems  in 
     &KERMLOG.
 *   Eight bit quoting is now handled whenever agreed, irrespective of the 
     SET BINARY option.
 *   The code has been altered so that the standard GEC version  will  now 
     compile.
 *   Prefix encoding and decoding is now done on file header packets.
 *   A check has been included to prevent text file records received  from 
     exceeding 235 characters.

     General improvements:

 *   The Data Management error code after a DMCONNECT is  now  written  to 
     &KERMLOG.
 *   Conversion of file names to 'normal form' can now be switched off.
 *   Output from the SHOW command displays off/on instead of 0/1.
 *   In Receive, the message 'oldname receiving  as  newname'  appears  in 
     &KERMLOG.
