I have been trying to post that reponse for days now, but our rn program has a problem. (Is there a way to post "manually"?) Anyway, you left out where it is (and its not obvious), the directory kermit/sw. I have been using 5A for some time now, and it works great. Also, you didn't mention that you do a "make next" to compile it, which bolstered my confidence in that version. Mark Adler madler@piglet.caltech.edu

A kind person at Shell Oil Inc. sent me kermit-5A via E-mail. Unfortunately in my joy at getting everything up and running correctly I deleted his mail message and I am unable to write him directly to thank him so I will do it here. Thanks, the kermit you sent is up and running fine. Also thanks again to everyone who sent mail on how to get kermit and connect my PC to my slab. Andrew

Does anyone know where I can get a version of Kermit in UUENCODED ascii format? I'm having difficulty connecting the NeXT to our loacl VAX and I'm looking for another way to try? Any help regarding it's location would be deeply appreciated. Or , If any of you want to be really nice, you could mail it to me. Thanks in advance!!! Mark Hruska hruska@ecs.umass.edu

The latest version of kermit uses control-] instead of control-\ by default for the escape character. I have uploaded the source and binary (compiled for 2.0) to cs.orst.edu in the pub/next/submissions directory as: kermit5a.165.tar.Z (source), and kermit5a.165.bin20.tar.Z (binary). Those may move to pub/next/sources and pub/next/binaries respectively, eventually. This replaces kermit5a.tar.Z, the 5A(163) binary (incorrectly) in pub/next/sources. Note that the real place to get the source from is watsun.cc.columbia.edu in kermit/sw. However, you need to figure out what you need from there for the NeXT, so I did that and packaged it in kermit5a.165.tar.Z for your compiling pleasure ... Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu

Sombody posted about the latest kermit 5a(163) being available from watsun.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.39.2), and that the place to get the sources is the kermit/sw directory -- and that you have to figure out what files you need when you get it from there. This is true, however I'ld like to add the following info: the latest release is 5a(166); the kermit/sw directory contains SOURCE code, and a lot of other stuff, therefore you DO have to search for the files you need, these are cku*.[ch] ckc*.[chw] ckwart.c ckuker.mak. However, if you don't want to go through the trouble of compiling the source, or if you don't have a lot of bandwidth and would rather download the (much smaller) binary directly, you can get it from the kermit/bin directory as the file ckuker.next. Enjoy! aca aca (squish)

That binary *is* 5A(166). However, one doesn't know whether it was compiled under 1.0 or 2.0. As far as bandwidth is concerned, it is 422289 bytes. They should have stripped it, which makes it 294912 bytes. I have compiled the 5A(165) source under 2.0 and (as noted in a previous posting) put it at cs.orst.edu in pub/next/submissions as kermit5a.165.bin20.tar.Z. It was compiled under 2.0, using the "-object" compiler option and stripping it, giving a 289364 byte object file. The .Z is (of course) compressed to 164976 bytes. That binary also has one other cosmetic change: the version reads: "NeXT Mach 2.0" instead of 1.0. I changed this in ckuver.h (line 88). This change is not in the source in kermit5a.165.tar.Z (same place at cs.orst.edu mentioned above)--those files are verbatim from watsun.cc.columbia.edu. Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu
