Re: Patches for MS-DOS Kermit 3.10
Keywords: MS-DOS Kermit 3.10 Patches
Several patches have been issued by Joe Doupnik for MS-DOS Kermit 3.10.
They are in the file kermit/a/msr310.pch on watsun.cc.columbia.edu
(Internet) and MSR310 PCH on KERMSRV@CUVMA (BITNET/EARN). This is a short
text file designed to be read by MS-DOS Kermit when it starts up. It should
be renamed to MSKERMIT.PCH and stored in the same directory as your MS-DOS
Kermit initialization file, MSKERMIT.INI. To install the patches, include
the command PATCH as the first command in your MSKERMIT.INI file. CAUTION:
these patches should only be applied to the binary .EXE file for the IBM PC
family and compatibles distributed by Columbia as MSVIBM.EXE (or decoded
from MSVIBM.BOO). Do not attempt to apply these patches to any other
version, or to a version you built yourself from the source files.
The patches include:
1. Alternate video mode Orchid Designer Professional VGA board.
2. Remove CRLF from WRITE command output.
3. Make sure new NetBios sessions cancel old ones.
4. Omit sending flow control XON when first opening a session.
5. Correct errors in parsing { things braces }, and other fixes.
6. Correction to patch 5.
7. Cyrillic translation table corrections.
8. Fix for VT terminal emulator CSI parser initialization.
Thanks to Joe for responding so promptly to users' bug reports!
