    Columbians kill Kermit

    It isn't easy being green

    After 30 years, Columbia University is killing off the landmark Kermit project.

    Kermit was developed in 1981 by Columbia University to connect different computers and the transfer of data between them.

    ...

    An MS-DOS version of Kermit was developed in 1983. There was a C-Kermit for Unix and OpenVMS and and Kermit 95 for Windows. And there it all appeared to stop.
    I had a version for the Amstrad PCW as well.

    And I used Kermit to backup my very first PC to a proper system and then off to tape.
    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

Working...
