Subject: New PDP-11 Kermit
This should be the last mail from uoft01, my 11/785 has jnet on it now
and it works very nicely. Once you get the new routing tables, the node
is uoft02 and user is BRIAN.
Anyway, who's bringing what to decus? I sent you a tape yesterday that is
current, so will you merge that in for decus or should I bring a tape?

[Ed. - The tape was received and installed at Columbia, and the new PDP-11
files, as well as anything else that arrives before Dec 7 (including the
other new Kermits announced below) will be on the Kermit tapes at DECUS in
Anaheim, Dec 9-14, and all the latest Kermits will be submitted to the
various DECUS SIGs, one way or another.
Version 2.24 of PDP-11 Kermit for is now available for RSX-11/M/M+, RT-11,
RSTS/E, P/OS, TSX+. This release supersedes version 2.22 from September
1984. New features include Pro-3xx P/OS support, Pro/RT11 support, error
logging, repeat compression prefix, virtual overlays. The files are in
KER:K11*.* on CU20B. There are many files; if you want to pick & choose,
first look at KER:K11FIL.DOC (somewhat out of date, but mostly correct).
You should also look at KER:K11INS.DOC, which describes the different
implementations, system requirements, etc.]

To: Info-Kermit
A Kermit server for the Tandem computer has been submitted by
Charles J. Cantor
Cantor Consulting
116 Dickerman Rd.
Newton, MA 02161
It sends and receive ASCII files only, one at a time (no wildcards).
It includes repeat counts and 8th-bit quoting. It's written in TAL, the
Tandem implementation language. It's in KER:TANDEM.TAL. The documentation
is at the top of the program.

Subject: New Kermit for the Apollo Workstation
A new Kermit implementation for the Apollo workstation has been developed
at Control Data Corporation and submitted by:
Duane Jergens
Magnetic Peripherals, Inc,
7801 Computer Ave. S.
Minneapolis MN 55435
This implementation is written in Pascal; it supports local, remote, and
server operation, it implements most of the commands from the protocol
manual, and includes Cyber-722 terminal emulation.
The files are in KER:APOLLO.PAS (source), KER:APOLLO.HLP (help file), and
KER:APOTERM.PAS (terminal emulation).
This version of Kermit is independent of the Apollo Fortran implementation
by John Lee of RCA Laboratories, which remains available as KER:APOKERMIT.*.

Subject: CP/M-80 Kermit for the Heath H8
Here is a modification of CP/M Kermit to allow setting and display of baud
rates, a bug fix in telnet, and an extension of the HELP to show GET (which
works in this release, on the H8). Look for the new symbol "h8quad" (for
the heath quad i/o board that it uses) in the conditionals. Note that the
Heath H8 is NOT the same machine as the H89! The H89 code does not run 'as
is' on the H8, and does NOT initialize the UART. Also there was a bug in
the telnet section that is fixed here, though I expect that it has already
been found and fixed by now - this is from the DECUS FALL 83 tape. The
comments were stripped out of this file to make it small enough for my H8
to assemble, however, I have put the first section back in to make it
easier for you to identify. Thanks for a nice product to use and work on.
Major insertions are heavily commented, edit as needed.
This modification done by John Mealing, InteCom Inc, 601 Intecom Dr.,
Allen, TX 75002 (214)797-9141, x-2493, 5 Nov 84.
[Ed. - Based on CP/M-80 Kermit v3.5. The files are in KER:CPMH8.M80
and KER:CPMH8.HEX.]

Subject: Revision 3 of TI-PRO Support for MS-DOS Kermit
This version works with the TI internal modem and has built-in Tektronix 4010
terminal emulation.
If anyone wants to add interrupt handling to MSXTIPRO.ASM, be my guest. I
intend to add more to MSXTEK.ASM to turn it into an ESCape sequence processor
general enough to handle HEATH/VT52, ANSI/VT100, and both TEK and ReGIS
graphics.
NOTE: You must edit MSCOMM.ASM to add PORT3 and PORT4 - See MSXTIPRO.BWR for
details.

[Ed. - The files are KER:MSXTIPRO.ASM, .BOO, .BAT, .BWR, and KER:MSXTEK.ASM.
use MSXTIPRO.BAT to assemble and link the program for the TI Pro. MSTIPRO.EXE
is in KB:.]

To: Daphne Tzoar <Sy.Daphne@CU20B.ARPA>, INFO-Kermit@CU20B.ARPA
[This was a suggestion in V1 #39 for using the BIOS whenever it was
feasible].
Since I generally run at much over 1200, the ability to use the BIOS is
quite limited. I only meant to suggest that for the 8 supported baud
rates, setting speeds using the BIOS was more robust than going to the
chip. Admittedly, this doesn't go very far in solving the problem with the
8251. A related problem with the 8251 and the BIOS is the inability to read
out the current baud rate.

To: info-kermit@CU20B.ARPA
We recently got a Victor 9000 donated to us in the MICROLAB, The only
software it came with was MS-DOS 1.1 and CPM/86. Since the
diskdrives are not compatible with the IBM-PC (they hold over 600k
each), is there any way I can get a version of vickkermit to a victor
format disk?
