Two items of information for y'all. First, I've seen a lengthy bug report in Info-Kermit complaining that the UNIXpc OBM support code is no good (doesn't compile, doesn't work write have being hacked into a compilable state, etc.). So I wouldn't go running out to replace your copy of K. O'Gorman's C-Kermit port with the latest version from Columbia. Second, for those of you who've thought, "gee, I never use the Asynchronous Terminal Emulation (ATE) package, perhaps I'll just remove it", I discovered today that the ATE package *must* be installed in order for O'Gorman's C-Kermit to work. At least, the ate driver must be installed; I think the utilities and fonts can be scrapped. Without the ate driver in place, kermit fails in its attempt to open up the ph device. -- Brant Cheikes University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Science ARPA: brant@linc.cis.upenn.edu, UUCP: ...drexel!manta!brant
