Hello,
I think I have discovered a bug in the TRANSMIT command of cp/m Kermit V4.09.
It seems that the TRANSMIT function looses characters. When I send the
following file using TRANSMIT:
:104000005468697320697320612074657374206F2C
:10401000662074686520656D657267656E637920DA
:1040200062726F6164636173742073797374656D18
:104030002E202054686973206973206F6E6C79207C
:104040006120746573742E2020496620746869733A
:1040500020686164206265656E2061207265616C14
:1040600020656D657267656E63792C20796F7520A8
:10407000776F756C642068617665206265656E2077
:10408000696E666F726D656420776865726520740D
:104090006F2074616B65207368656C7465722E2087
:0000000000
The following is actually sent:
:104000005468697320697320612074657374206F2C
:10401000662074686520656D657267656E637920DA
:1040200062726F616463617374207379737456D18
:104030002E202054686973206973206F6E6C79207C
:104040006120746573742E2020496620746869733A
:1040500020686164206265656E206207265616C14
:1040600020656D657267656E63792C20796F7520A8
:10407000776F756C642068617665206265656E2077
:10408000696E666F726D65420776865726520740D
:104090006F2074616B65207368656C7465722E2087
:0000000000
The hex files were created from the following assembler source, assembled with
z80mr:
org 4000h
db 'This is a test of the '
db 'emergency broadcast '
db 'system. This is only a '
db 'test. If this had been '
db 'a real emergency, you '
db 'would have been informed '
db 'where to take shelter. '
end
Has anyone else experienced this problem with the TRANSMIT command? I would
appreciate hearing from you if you have -- before I attack the Kermit source
to find the fix.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Notice the dropped character in the third, sixth, and nineth lines.
Has anyone else experienced this problem.
