If I remember correctly, both 0.9(40) and 0.98(63) are "current".
Assuming they are the versions I think they are, they come from two
different "roots" and offer different "features" and provide different
"bugs."

I happen to NEED to use more than one version of MAC Kermit to enable
me to use a "bug" which was "fixed," but which I considered a "feature."

My problem is that I haven't been using the MAC asynchronously very much
over the past 6 months or so now (it's at home), so I don't remeber the
gory details. But I sort of remember that the "feature" had to do with
BINHEX 4/ vs BINHEX 5 (MACbinary) transfers.
