- Subject: MS Mermit v2.30 for the NEC APCIII
-
- Gentlemen,
-
- I was a little surprised to find out a week ago that v2.30 of
- MS Kermit had gotten released in January -- not having heard from Joe
- since last summer. Never-the-less a bit of fast keyboarding brought
- the NEC community back up to date. The current version for the APCIII
- does everything the IBM one does -- including the Tektronix emulation --
- with the following elaborations:
-
- a) The graphics are 640 x 400 in your choice of green, no
- matter what the text screen color is.
-
- b) The graphics are not saved during mode switch.
-
- c) The function performed by Shift-Arrow during cursor control
- is done by Control-Arrow on the NEC (shift arrow doesn't emit
- a unique key code here). I'm not sure this is even mentioned in
- the manual, but the msg code made it clear. Furthermore, the APCIII
- use the "real" arrow keys for this function, not the 2-4-6-8 set.
-
- The remaining comments in the manual concerning the NEC APCIII implementation
- are still all correct.
-
- The files for the APCIII implementation are available via anonymous
- ftp from SPACE.MIT.EDU in the "pub" directory as
-
- msgap3, msuap3, msxap3, msyap3, and mszap3.asm for source
- and
- msvap3.boo for executable
-
- or I can mail them to you, as you wish. At the very least, we should get the
- old v2.28 version of Roger Link's out of circulation (which is what is
- currently held in the Columbia archives in spite of the 2.29 version being
- available 2 years ago).
