2-Dec-84 18:51:28-EST,1798;000000000015 Return-Path: Received: from WASHINGTON.ARPA by CU20B.ARPA with TCP; Sun 2 Dec 84 18:51:10-EST Date: Sun 2 Dec 84 15:49:29-PST From: Ronald Blanford Subject: 86kermit v. 2.9 To: cc.fdc@CU20B.ARPA Frank, I've been making changes off and on to 86kermit, but the next month or two looks slack so I'll give you the current version for testing and possible release. The files are in my account as usual with the source in 86KER*.* and the hex and binary in APCKERMIT.*. The specific features that have been implemented in version 2.9 are: o LOCAL DIRECTORY command now computes file sizes correctly for all files. The size given is the actual allocation on disk, and not the logical size (which might differ for non-sequential files). o LOCAL TYPE command has been implemented to display (text) files on the screen. A wildcard filespec is accepted and files displayed alphabetically. The display is paged in Unix fashion with --more-- displayed on the last line. Typein options at that point can be obtained by hitting a '?'. o Wildcard SENDs now send files in alphabetical order by name, and accept an optional initial filename in the command line to allow transmission of partial groups in the manner of TOPS-20 Kermit. o Problems with use under Concurrent CP/M on the APC have been fixed. In particular, a KERMIT.INI file is no longer required, the SET DEFAULT-DISK command works correctly, and a process dispatch is performed each time a call to the serial port status routine returns negative, vastly improving the response of other jobs. There is still no provision for mutual exclusion on the serial port. -- Ron -------
