Since the LCG Third Party Software brochure for KERMIT was published by DEC in
November 1982, the popularity of KERMIT has grown far beyond our expectations.
This has a good side and a bad side.  The good side is that new implementations
of KERMIT have been contributed and old ones improved.  The bad side is that
the demand for free KERMIT distribution tapes has exceeded the capacity of our
human and computing resources.  This flyer lists the implementations now
available and describes the new distribution policy.

Intertec Superbrain, Apple II with Z80 Softcard, TRS-80 II (CP/M), Osborne 1,
Vector Graphics, Ohio Scientific, Telcon Zorba, and others.  The 8086 version
runs on the IBM PC and lookalikes (such as the Compaq portable) and on the
Heath/@|Zenith-100.

@Header(KERMIT Distribution Policy)

The KERMIT software remains free and available to all.  Columbia University,
however, is not set up to distribute free software on the scale required
for KERMIT.  Therefore, to defray our costs for media, printing, postage,
labor, and computing resources, we must request a moderate donation from sites
that request KERMIT directly from Columbia.  The schedule is as follows:
@begin<format,group,LeftMargin +4>
@tabclear()@tabset(4.0inches)
Complete KERMIT Distribution@\$100@t<.>00
   @i<(Tape, Users Guide, and Protocol Manual)>
@blankspace(0.5)
Printed Documents@\$5@t<.>00 each
   @i<(Users Guide, Protocol Manual, or Any Source Listing)>
@end<format>
Other sites remain free to redistribute KERMIT on their own terms, and are
encouraged to do so, with the following stipulations: KERMIT should not be sold
for profit; credit should be given where it is due; and new material should be
sent back to Columbia University at the address below so that we can maintain a
definitive and comprehensive set of KERMIT implementations for further
distribution.

@begin<text,need 8>
@blankspace(1)
To order KERMIT from Columbia University, send a letter requesting either:
@begin<description,above 1,below 1,leftmargin +6,indent -5>
(a)@\The manuals or source listings you desire (specify each one), @i<or>

(b)@\A 9-track magnetic tape in one of the following formats:

@end<format>
(Specify system, format, and density.)
One copy of each manual will be included with the tape.  We will supply the
tape, packaging, and postage.
@end<description>
@end<text>
We can only make tapes in the formats listed above.  @ux<We cannot produce
floppy disks>; bootstrapping procedures are provided to allow the microcomputer
versions to be downloaded from the mainframe for which the tape is produced.
The tape includes all source programs, documentation, and, when practical,
binaries or hex.

Send your letter to:

KERMIT Distribution
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities
7th Floor, Watson Laboratory
612 West 115th Street
New York, N.Y.  10025
@end<format>
Please list the machines and operating systems you expect to run KERMIT on,
specify the tape format or the listings desired, and mention whether there are
additional systems for which you require KERMIT or if you might be interested
in attempting your own implementation.  Make checks payable to @i<Columbia
University Center for Computing Activities>.

KERMIT is also available to users of the BITNET network via a server
at host CUVMA.  BITNET users may type ``SMSG RSCS MSG CUVMA KERMSRV HELP'' for
further information.  Additional network and user group distribution methods
are under consideration.  Suggestions would be welcome.
