Kermit source code and Cygwin

Hello!
I've decided to see if both the current version of C-Kermit, and the
one for G-Kermit can be built using the latest CYGWIN stuff.

So I was able to download the current version of C-Kermit via the
website. Next will be building it, more on that later.

However the one for G-Kermit appears to be wearing the 660 attribute
which normally means its not world readable. And indeed on the ftp
service I could see it but not download it.

Question! Why is that?

Which one is that? I just connected to [url]ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives[/url]
(using a Kermit client of course) and listed the directory. There are
a few files that aren't world readable, but all the gku100.tar* files
are 664.

I see two gkermit.tar.gz* in the [url]ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/g[/url]
directory that are 660, but they aren't part of the 'individual source
files'. See [url]ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/g/.readme[/url] .

In short, It looks to me that all the files linked from <http://
www.columbia.edu/kermit/gkermit.html#down> with the sole exception of
the gku100.ia64-hpux-11.23 binary are world readable.
