Even though Commodore Kermit V2.2 has not been "officially" released yet,
many people already have a copy. In fact, it was just posted to this newsgroup
a day or two ago.
There happens to be a bug in many copies of Kermit V2.2. Here is how you
can fix your copy:
Ray
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Turn on/reset machine (into C-64 mode if on a C-128).
2. Type: LOAD "KERMIT",8
3. Type: POKE 3393,32
POKE 19930,51
POKE 26539,29
4. Type: SAVE "@0:KERMIT",8
The bugs will vanish magically! :-) In addition, the version will change
from 2.2 (70) to 2.2 (73) in the opening message.
PLEASE pass these POKEs along to any people you have given copies of 2.2
(70) to. Thanks!schaefer@ogccse.ogc.edu (Barton E. Schaefer) (02/26/89)

Green, cyan, and yellow all produce yellow, anything starting with "light" gives light-blue, orange is definitely not orange. This is on a 64, so the warning in the 2.1 manual about 128 colors does not apply (I hope).

Yeah, I downloaded Kermit 2.2 (w/ some help) and then fixed those bugs.. But what exactly was wrong with the original? In otherwords, what did those two bad bytes screw up in the program?

I recently got Kermit from Dr. Evil Labs. My problem is
I have the unsupported 1660 modem!!!
Can anyone, in particular some from Dr. Evil Labs, tell
me a patch I can apply?? The documentation (yes I printed
the whole thing) looks really good, and the vt-100 emulation
is a feature I desparately need. HELP!!
Thanks to any and all who respond.
Ed
PS how many others out there would like to use Kermit with the 1660?

[I tried to mail this, but it boinged back in my face, so....] Re your 1660 vs. Kermit struggle... This is just a hairbrained idea, and a kludge at best, but it might be worth a shot: First, in BASIC, take the modem off-hook: POKE 56579,(PEEK(56579)OR 32) POKE 56577,(PEEK(56577)AND 223) To avoid trouble with the phone company giving up on you, do this with the LINE phone jack unplugged. The modem should silently tell you all about the silence it's getting (the non-dial tone). Boot Kermit (LOAD "*",8,1 or BOOT for 128). When you get to the Kermit-65> menu, go into connect mode, then pick up a real phone, connect the modem's LINE jack, and hope to hear the dial tone. Dial using a real phone, and the modem *should* connect OK. When you log off of that service (or you can disconnect the LINE jack to lose carrier, the modem *should* stay off-hook, letting you repeat the dialing process. Not having a 1660 handy to try it with, I can't say how well it would work. I can, though, tell you that it's likely to if Kermit doesn't force the modem to hang up in the bootup process. Now that I think about it, the computer should start out in 64 mode if you have a 128. 80 columns should still work. Switching from 128-64 modes, as the bootstrap does, is likely to reset the modem. Good luck, and let me know how well it works. *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-*-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* | William R.
