Since the source is so small (~30K) I can send it first over the modem then send what I want to send (compressed) and still save modem time! The maintainer of bzip has a home page:- http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/arch/people/j-seward/index.html The kermit source is at :- ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives the latest file appears to be cku192src.tar.Z -- David Williams
