I was looking around the ker*mit. directory (on shark.nosc.mil FTP
site) today when I came across the Whats New for Kermit387 post.
Just thought I would relay it over here for all you other folks.

1. Decimal numbers in lots of places
2. Screen restore on "connect" for //e or better
3. Kermit file attributes are handled
4. Percent of file xferd where possible (file attributes required).
5. Lots of bug fixes - will we ever get the vt100 right :-)
6. Kermit protocol bug fixes
7. Escape character "\" can be used in file names for file xfers.
8. Show volumes - (prodos only) shows the prefix of the online vols
9. Escape V - when connected will toggle cursor-keys-vt100
10.Some vt102 printer codes are handled-dont expect much

Hi all,
Just picked up a copy of Kermit 387 and I can't seem to get the thing
to receive files. Kermit 386 worked fine with the setup I have but when
I type receive on this new version all that happens is the computer
freezes up and I have to do a cntl-reset to get out of it. I have a IIgs
rom 1, 1.25 meg....etc etc. Any ideas? Thanks much!

>Just picked up a copy of Kermit 387 and I can't seem to get the thing >to receive files. Where did you 'pick up a copy of Kermit 3.87'? Unless I've missed some very important mail, it HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET. If you are beta testing, then you should report problems you encounter to: medin-t@shark.nosc.mil If you are not a beta tester and want to be, then ask Mr. Medin. I'm not sure whether Ted objects to the beta being made widely available, but you should at least KNOW you're working with a beta and know where to report problems. I'm not saying it's your fault. You never know how many hands something passes through before it gets to someone who asks a question. :) Les_Ferch@mtsg.ubc.ca

Is it possible to set the timeout in Kermit. When dealing with networked stuff, you generally nead longer timeouts than if, for instance, you were connected to a local BBS or something. Anyway, can kermit be set to receive batch? I usually use ProTERM, because I can type "send *" or some- thing and then tell ProTERM to receive batch. But the problem is that many times, proterm times out too quickly and aborts the whole thing. Lately, things have been worse, because some grad. students here have been running parallel processing experiments on our Sequent... these make it completely halt in its tracks for up to a minute at times. This is really a pain when you're trying to transfer a large file. Anybody have any ideas? I know the Sequent side is no problem, because the time-out there is set to 5 minutes or something. Thanks! :-) Internet: aabenson@balance.cs.mtu.edu Bitnet: AABENSON@MTUS5.BITNET

Could somebody please repost Kermit 3.87 to Comp.binaries.apple2? The one originally posted was v3.86. Or better yet, are there any ftp sites with the real version of 3.87? I looked into getting it off Columbia Watsun, but it required dos 3.3 to undo it, and i don't even have a 5.25" drive anymore. thanks _______________________________________________ _______________ | Steve Chiang Apple //gs forever | Coming Soon: | |-----------------------------------------------|---------------| | Internet : stc7@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu | DreamGrafix | | America_Online : DWS Steve | 3200 power | |_______________________________________________|_______________|

>I looked into getting it off Columbia Watsun, but it required >dos 3.3 to undo it, and i don't even have a 5.25" drive anymore. Kermit 3.87 is available from watson.cc.columbia.edu in ProDOS format in the file apppro.bns. Docs in text format in apple.doc and in PostScript format in apple.ps. These are all in directory kermit/a (if I recall correctly). Les_Ferch@mtsg.ubc.ca

H. Grant Delaney writes me in e-mail: [I have been unable to duplicate your problems with Kermit 3.87. What are your settings etc.] The problem with ctrl-s not working some of the time has been fixed. I had xon/xoff flow control set in Kermit; I turned off flow control and the problem disappeared. I haven't had the program simply hang recently; it did happen a number of times before and wouldn't respond to anything, but it hasn't reoccured recently. I'll just let it go as a fluke. The cursor still gets divided in two sometimes when I +++ type a non- printable character. Try it in off-line mode, connected directly to the modem and not to a remote system, and hit esc or some control sequence. Henry -- Henry Throop THROOP@GRIN1.BITNET throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu

Does anyone have a copy of Kermit that'll run under DOS 3.3 on an Apple II+? Once someone tried to send me one, but part of it was lost in transmission somewhere. INET: flee@gnh-applesauce.cts.com UUCP: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!flee ARPA: crash!pnet01!gnh-applesauce!flee@nosc.mil
