The GUI version of Kermit 95, 2.0, was released 6 June 2002.
Read about the GUI.
- TIMING
- The first GUI version is being released in stages beginning 6
June 2002. The software itself is ready for delivery now
(e.g. for new Bulk or Academic Site License orders). Shrinkwrap packaging
will take some time. In the meantime owners of previous versions can upgrade
to version 2.0 online, and those who wish to order individual copies will
receive 1.1.20, and can then upgrade to 2.0. At some point before the new
shrinkwraps are ready, we also hope to have a direct purchase and electronic
delivery method available.
- SECURITY
- Effective 16 July 2002, the cryptographic version of Kermit 95 can
be exported to most countries.

- PRICING AND LICENSING
- The retail single-copy price of Kermit 95 1.1.20 (released in March 2000)
was increased from $59.00 to $64.00 USD; this was first price increase since
1995 and it reflects increased production costs over the years, plus the
addition of the C-Kermit CDROM to the basic package. The bulk and academic
license prices remain the same. The GUI version of Kermit 95 will have a its
own price increase, probably more substantial, to be announced June 21st. But
it is a free upgrade to all registered owners of shrinkwrapped
(single-license) versions, as well as to all academic and bulk-right-to-copy
license holders in their first year of ownership, or whose annual maintenance
is paid up according to the license. ORDER NOW TO
BEAT THE PRICE HIKE.
