I have recieved a lot of responses, but everyone who has responded wants Kermit also. Now, on the assumption that I will post when I get Apple Kermit, Will people who Have Apple kermit please respond, post news, or perhaps post the source? John Langbein (langbein@topaz)

The person who maintains Apple ][ Kermit is Peter Trei. Send him mail at oc.trei@cu20b.columbia.edu Nat Polish@cs.columbia.edu

It is the original Wisconsin version as modified by SERDAC and is combination Applesoft Basic and Assembly code. But, I don't want to become a disk copying operation. And I don't see what good posting the sources would be if one doesn't have the Kermit to download them with!!! If John could be persuaded to organize a distribution tree, with each person willing to copy a disk and xerox about 25 pages of documentation, I could probably be persuaded to mail out a few copies...

It may be that other versions are more up-to-date, the documentation on the one I have is July 1985. It claims to work with the following cards: Hayes Micromodem II Apple Super Serial Card Cal Comp Sys 7710-D Serial Card Apple Communications Serial Card Novation Apple Cat Modem I can vouch for Apple Super Serial and Cal Comp cards from personal use. -- 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"

Some people suggested that since they have other means of transfering
stuff from their Unix machines to their Apples I should post Kermit
anyway. So I sat down and started to upload the source. I didn't get
very far. The Apple ][ that I use doesn't have lower case. Unix is
not very friendly to upper-case-only terminals that try to use Kermit.
(To try it yourself, next time you sign on, type your userid in upper case.)
I got it uploaded to the Sperrysaur which is a case insensitive machine.
Unfortunately it doesn't like lines longer than 132 characters so I'm gonna
hafta do moby "join" commands when I get it FTPed up here.
But this exposes a pathological problem. It probably works if you have the
lower case stuff, but what should the response of Kermit be to an unmodified
Apple? Should there be a force-to-lower-case option? Suggestions?
Oh, the other feature this Kermit has is a 70 column display-to-hires option.
It doesn't make it on a color TV, but it's barely tolerable on my B/W set.
On a video monitor it should be better...
