From: Frank da Cruz <SY.FDC@CU20B.ARPA> Info-Kermit Digest Mon, 10 Jun 1985 Volume 2 : Number 34 MS-DOS Kermit Version 2.28 Now Available Need Pointer to Victor 9000 Kermit Disk Kermit-MS under Topview? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon 10 Jun 85 17:22:15-EDT From: Frank da Cruz <SY.FDC@CU20B> Subject: MS-DOS Kermit Version 2.28 Now Available To: Info-Kermit@CU20B, Info-IBMPC@USC-ISIB This is to announce Version 2.28 of MS-DOS Kermit. MS-DOS Kermit provides terminal emulation and Kermit protocol file transfer for the following systems: . IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT and compatibles . IBM PCjr (RS232 port only) . DEC Rainbow Series . Hewlett-Packard 150 . Hewlett-Packard 110 . NEC APC . Sanyo MBC . Texas Instruments Professional . Wang PC . Heath/Zenith 100 . Generic MS-DOS The program has been tested at Columbia on the IBM PC, XT, and AT, the DEC Rainbow, and the HP-150. Since the system-dependent modules were not noticably altered, it is expected that it will work on the other systems too -- but confirmation (to Info-Kermit@CU20B) would be appreciated. The changes are in several major areas: 1. Bug fixes (many) 2. Size -- new version is much smaller on disk, at the cost of DOS 1.x support. 3. New commands - CWD, TYPE, VERSION 4. Better unique-filename manufacturing algorithm. 5. Additional Heath-19 terminal emulation features and controls. The files are in KER:MS*.* on CU20B, available to Internet via anonymous FTP: KER:MS228.UPD -- List of specific changes from 2.27 to 2.28 KER:MSAAAA.HLP -- List of all the MS*.* files, with brief explanations KER:MS*.BOO -- .BOO-format programs for downloading (see documentation) KER:MSKERM.DOC -- New Kermit User Guide manual chapter for V2.28 KER:MSKERM.BWR -- "Beware File" (list of known bugs & limitations) KB:MS*.EXE -- 8-bit binary format Kermit programs for the various systems The files will also appear at the other Kermit distribution points within a week or two (BITnet KERMSRV, okstate, etc) and will be submitted to PC SIG for the benefit of those who want to order MS-DOS Kermit on floppy disk. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Jun 85 14:25:52 cdt From: ihnp4!shell!buck%Berkeley@columbia.arpa (Lester Buck) Subject: Need Pointer to Victor 9000 Kermit Disk Could you direct me to a source for a version of kermit that runs on a Victor 9000 that is actually on a Victor 9000 format disk? I would gladly pay some $$$ to anyone and I am not in a terrific hurry (next three or four weeks). I would like to avoid downloading the versions I have on the distribution tapes. I note that the Victor versions have changed around alot from the distribution tape last August to the tape this March - no more vic*.* files for msdos, but a bunch of new ones called sir*.* which I guess are identical (?). Thanks for any pointers, A. Lester Buck @ Shell Development Co. {ihnp4, pur-ee, ut-sally}!shell!buck [Ed. - There were actually several different Victor/Sirius Kermit implementations, based on various releases of Version 1.x IBM PC Kermit. We're only distributing the latest one. Can anyone help him out?] ------------------------------ Date: Mon 10 Jun 85 13:28:03-PDT From: Jim Celoni S.J. <Celoni@SU-SCORE.ARPA> Subject: Kermit-MS under Topview? What are the correct program parameters to give Topview so that Kermit-MS 2.27 runs best under it? Is there a .pif file for Kermit? If Kermit can transfer files in the background and not mess up the screen, that would be great... Thanks. +j [Ed. - Has anybody really gone through the bother of doing this? If you have, please feel free to contribute your work to Info-Kermit!] ------------------------------ End of Info-Kermit Digest ************************* -------
