I at last have a generic kermit running on my cromemco boards & Morrow disks thanks to a proper incorporation of BAT: by MICAH. It works with the UNIX Kermit on a VAX with one problem--at the end of a file transferred from the PC to the VAX there are several lines of ^Z^Z^Z etc. Is this filler poop at the end of packets & can it be turned off? Thanks for any help. (Reply to gray@su-dsn)

From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@Simtel20.ARPA> The file default for CP/M Kermit is binary. If you do SET FILE ASCII to your Kermit-80 prior to doing the upload, you won't get those control-Z's at the end of the file. --Keith

From: Kevin W. Rudd <kevinw@Su-Dsn.ARPA> the ^Z it the CPM end of file character for ascii files. it is always there except when it would be the first character in a new allocation (either new block or new extent, i don't remember) kermit apparently does not differentiate between text (with 0x1a marking end of file) and binary (with no end of file -- only data) -- K
