======================================================= I have been following (at least trying) to follow the saga of Kermit-][ and I just saw the documentation for it come up in net.sources.. Somewhere along the line, though, I missed the process for obtaining it.. Is there anyone who can give me detailed instructions for obtaining it, or is there anyone who can mail it to me?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you.. Paul Nakada nakada@husc4.UUCP harvard!husc4!nakada

I posted the documentation two days ago but it bounced, so I had to repost it. Now that it seems to be getting out, watch for two postings, one of the mimimal kernel subset to get it working, and another with the rest of the stuff. There are a bunch of Kermits around. The one Ted Medin at Shark has been talking about seems to be a descendant of the Stevens Tech Kermit 65. I think this Kermit ][ was originally the same, but somebody moved a lot of stuff from assembly back to Applesoft Basic. Seems like a great leap backwards, but actually is a big win because tokenized Applesoft is far denser than machine code (though a lot slower) and more functionality can be packing into the rather limited memory of the Apple ][+. -- umd5.UUCP <= {seismo!umcp-cs,ihnp4!rlgvax}!cvl!umd5!zben Ben Cranston zben @ umd2.UMD.EDU Kingdom of Merryland Sperrows 1100/92 umd2.BITNET "via HASP with RSCS"
