[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] MS-Kermit 2.31 -- possible bug?

whh@pbhya.PacBell.COM (Wilson Heydt) (10/07/88)

This is a *possible* bug in Kermit 2.31.

I've been working with a new ASCII/Async to EBCDIC/Bisync/X.25 protocol
conversion setup and I've noticed some odd behavior under Kermit 2.31.
As the behavior doesn't occur with a CIT326 running as a VT100 the problem
may be in Kermit. (Since the problem doesn't happen using similar features
by 'rn' it may also be in the protocol converter.)

As soon as any character is made "bright," everything after that byte is
bright--even if an entirely new screen is sent.  I.e. highlighting never
turns off.  This is when Kermit is running VT102 emulation.

If anyone has any ideas what may be causing this please mail it.  If I
can get a proper address to send Kermit bug-reports, I'll send this
along.

Thanks in advance for any help.
