Keep watch for a C-Kermit 9.0.305 Alpha 05 release...

Steven and myself have gotten code fixes to Frank da Cruz that he's
incorporated into the source code.  I've just finished testing this new
release from OpenVMS VAX and Alpha; macOS Catalina and Monterey;
and from a Raspberry Pi.  As soon as Frank hears back from others
that have contributed patches, he''ll announce it (and I'll forward a
copy of the announcement here to comp.os.vms).
