Subject: Announcing QK-Kermit Version 3.0 for MS-DOS
Keywords: Pascal Kermit, Turbo Pascal Kermit, QK-Kermit, Tektronix Emulation

I have a new version of QK-Kermit which was written using Turbo Pascal 4.0
compiler.  This version no longer supports CP/M systems but was specifically
written to run on MsDos systems.  It takes advantage of the new Turbo Pascal
features such as the new Turbo Pascal Units (TPU) and the improved graphics
facility.  It is now no longer necessary to have different version of
QK-Kermit for each of the graphics cards.  The same KERMIT.EXE file will work
on CGA,EGA,Hercules,MCGA and VGA graphics card.

Last time, I had problems in sending the new version over BITNET, and ended up
sending you the files via floppy disk.  I will send the new version via a 3.25
inch floppy if that is OK with you.

[Ed. - Thanks, Victor!  Disk received in good order, and the files have been
installed in the Kermit Distribution, replacing version 2.8 from October 1987.
The files on the disk have been renamed to fit the Kermit Distribution naming
conventions.  They can be restored to their original names by running the
DOS batch file, QK3AAY.BAT.  The executable program is in the form of a simple
hex file, and can be converted back into an executable .EXE file by running
QK3EXE (originally called HEXEXE) on it.]
