Use a regular FTP client to retrieve them in text mode. Example:

  $ ftp kermit.columbia.edu
    User: anonymous
    Password: your-email-address
  ftp> cd kermit/a
  ftp> mget
  ftp> ascii
  ftp> get cp*.*
  ftp> bye  

CLICK HERE for more information about how to use FTP.

The CP/M-80 and CP/M-85 files are all in the kermit/a directory. Get the files cp*.* and then read the cpaaaa.hlp file for further instructions.

The others (CP/M-86, CP/M-68K, Concurrent CP/M-86, etc) are in the kermit/? directory listed in the second column, with the filename prefix listed in the first column. For example, to get the Concurrent CP/M version:

  ftp> cd kermit/c
  ftp> prompt
  ftp> mget cn8*.*

Each version comes as a pair of Intel HEX files (*.hex); the main Kermit program and a system-dependent overlay. Instructions for piecing them together, and for use, are in the documentation:
