hi, well i finally got around to trying to use this system (moving up
from 2.32/a), and i have a couple of questions:
1) is there by now a newer version? i have 3.01 and a patch.
2) my meta-characters don't work with this version. i've tried both
the vt3xx that it comes up with by default and the vt102 that i'm used
to. i'm using the same mskermit.ini as before (except that i add the
command "patch" to it). i do a show key for alt-x and see scan code
2349 still mapping to ascii 248 (meta-x). help!!
thanks in advance,
-geo

Try SET DISPLAY 8. Second, the place to find new editions of Kermit is on the Columbia archive machine: anonymous ftp to watsun.cc.columbia.edu, or Bitnet to pseudo user KERMSRV on machine CUVMA or CUVMB. Then lastly, version 3.10 appears this week. Version 3.02 was strictly a development number and has now gone away. We are working on the announcment and other supporting material at this moment (with timeout to read News, natch). Joe D.
