[comp.sys.zenith.z100] MS-Kermit 2.31 on Z-100 via ZPC

I recently upgraded my Z-100 low profile computer with the Heath User's
Group ZPC IBM-PC emulation software and a Scottie Systems Scottie Board
with COM1 adapter.  I had great difficulty in getting MS-Kermit,
Version 2.30 to run, and have not isolated all problems yet.  However,
MS-Kermit, Version 2.31 runs hot out of its BOO file translation with
no modification!  The ZPC package emulates a CGA display, and
both the VT102 and TEK4010 modes operate flawlessly (so far).  Even though
running Kermit in emulation this way does not make use of the 640x480
resolution available on a Z-100, it still makes a very servicable comm
package (at least until the Z-100 Kermit reaches the 2.3x level??).
