Fooled by Pnews, so here we go again: When I give the Kermit BYE command in VT100 it crashes with an illegal instruction exception (#4). This happens in the code one distributed some time ago. Has anyone noticed this also? Is it a known bug? Is there a patch? It's still the best terminal emulator/kermit I've come across. Thanks for maintaining it! -- Hans Zuidam E-Mail: hans@nlgvax.UUCP Philips Data Systems, Tel: +31 40 892xxx Projecten Centrum Geldrop, Building XR Willem Alexanderlaan 7B, 5664 AN Geldrop The Netherlands

There is a patch version coming out shortly which fixes this and several bugs (this is the only guru-type bug, by the way...the other problems deal with comments on lines in script files and support for over-scan). Anyway, the fix for this particular problem is simple...in saybye() in kermit.c simply AllocMem the 2 buffers (if they aren't already allocated), send the packet then FreeMem them. >It's still the best terminal emulator/kermit I've come across.

I thank you and, I'm sure, all of the other contributors thank you, too! >-- >Hans Zuidam E-Mail: hans@nlgvax.UUCP -- Tony Sumrall acs@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com <=> amdahl!acs [ Opinions expressed herein are the author's and should not be construed to reflect the views of Amdahl Corp. ]
