	All accurate except for the very last point. Kermit use is always
free. Financial arrangements come into play when a Columbia Kermit becomes 
part of another product package offered for sale. The Kermit Project is
heavily dependent on such arrangments and on the sale of the user's books,
plus <too infrequent> donations. If corporations were to contribute a fraction
of the cost otherwise spent on a commerical product we could do much more,
and faster too, and buyers would still enjoy the benefits of a commercial 
grade product with Tech Support and a professionally done user's manual 
(Digital Press and Prentice Hall does the publishing).
