K95 2.1 is a minor update of Version 2.0, whose purpose is to fix bugs reported since version 2.0 was released (in June 2002) in preparation for shrinkwrapping. The main differences from 2.0 are in the following areas:

Kermit 95 2.1 is available as an upgrade to all earlier versions:

New copies can be purchased or downloaded for evaluation at e-academy.com:

All new bulk right-to-copy, omnibus, and academic site license orders will be fulfilled with the new version.

The retail shrinkwrapped package will be available in several weeks. In the meantime, single copies or small quantities can be purchased or downloaded for evaluation from e-academy. The new package will include Kermit 95 2.1 as well as the new C-Kermit 8.0 CDROM. At the same time, the Using C-Kermit manual (second edition) will become available separately as an "e-book" (as well as in printed form) from its publisher, Digital Press. This change was made to keep the cost of the base package as low as possible. Nevertheless, the price will still rise due to increased costs of production. Details will be announced as they develop.
