I could look myself, of course, but does simtel or ut or even
columbia contain a BINARY of the "current latest" kermit for the z100?
It's been so long since I've fetched anything from columbia that I've
forgotten how to unpack a .boo file, and there are so many versions of
kermit and other stuff there anyway that I tend to ignore new postings,
rather than fight my way through the directory structure. Does the
latest one support the larger-packet option? If not, I'll stay with
BESTERM, the best of the z100 communication packages.
At work, however, I have to use an AT-clone. If I brave columbia,
will it be obvious where the latest and greatest kermit for an AT lives?
I'm really not happy with the old one I'm using.

Don, I think the true binary sources are at Columbia in kermit/bin; z-100 kermit would be mstz10.exe and IBM PC-Kermit would be msvibm.exe (ms = MS Kermit, t = test, v = production, and of course z10=z-100 and ibm=ibm). The manual is kermit/a/mskerm.doc The columbia host name is cunixc.cc.columbia.edu. Both Z-100 Kermit and IBM PC Kermit support packets up 1000 bytes long; Z-100 Kermit has trouble with that at 9600b, however, and in testing I could only get it up to about 500+. I hope to improve that to the full 1000 next week if I survive teaching a class between now and then. mstz10.exe also exists on clutx.clarkson.edu in pub/mstz10.exe; I personally put it there. Drew
