Ok, the newer openssl and openssh packages are now at my add-ons site.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, and thanks to the Delilinux
developer (who, unfortunately, is not on this list) for making these
updated packages available.  He's doing a great service to BL users.

Ok.  Both kermit and lynx-ssl are now linked to from my page.  I also
linked to Opera 6.03 (just a link to the file in Opera's archive, not the
file itself).  I also decided to put antiword there - 0.32.  This is the
version from Slack 8, I believe, so I'm not entirely sure it will work on
BL2.  Could someone please install it on their BL system, check to see if
it works, then report back here?

I put these instructions on the page with the new link to kermit that you
found, now located at my BL add-ons site.
