[comp.protocols.misc] Where is the Source Code for Unix and MS-DOS Kermit?

cravey@peyote.cactus.org (Mark Cravey) (07/19/90)

I am looking for the source code for Unix and MS-DOS Kermit.  I
currently have sources in C for Unix Version 4E (70) and in MASM for
MS-DOS Version 2.31.  Both are approx. Jan 1988 versions.

1. Where can I find more recent versions?
2. Also, what is the "Super Kermit" protocol used in MS-DOS ProComm?

Thanks,

"Super Kermit" (their word, not ours) is Kermit with sliding window packet
protocol.  MS-DOS Kermit 3.0 and C-Kermit 5A both support sliding windows.

The latest version of MS-DOS Kermit is 3.01.  The sources and all related
files are on watsun.cc.columbia.edu [128.59.39.2], available via ftp, login
as user anonymous (lowercase), any password.

For MS-DOS Kermit, cd kermit/b, mget mss*.* (source), msk*.* (documentation),
plus IBM-specific modules & files ms[guvxyz]ibm.*.

For C-Kermit 5A (not yet released), cd kermit/sw, mget ck*.*, then rename
ckuker.mak to makefile, read the instructions at the top, and make the desired
version.  Comments, reviews, welcome.
