- This message is intended for Alan Croswell, who is supposedly our contact
- for submitting kermit source modifications. If I managed to get the wrong
- BITNET address or the wrong person, please forward this message to the
- appropriate person.
-
- I have just completed testing (as much as software testing is ever complete)
- the support for KERMIT v. 2.28 for the VICTOR 9000/SIRIUS microcomputer.
- The modules are
- MSXV9000.ASM - basic serial support without SET KEY support.
- MSYV9000.ASM - terminal emulator support which ignores the HEATH emulation
- flag since the VICTOR looks like a HEATH without any effort on the
- programer's part.
-
- Two other modules for an optional version are
- MSYV9TEK.ASM - terminal emulator support which looks like a Tektronix 4010
- series terminal if HEATH emulation is turned off.
- MSZV9TEK.ASM - replacement module for MSXDMB.ASM to insure that the
- graphics screen area has a reasonable chance of ending up in the
- required portion of main memory for the video controller to access
- it properly.
-
- These modules, along with a help file describing the features and use of
- the VICTOR 9000 version, are ready for submission to your main server. I
- would appreciate any instructions on how to go about transferring them to
- you.

- NOTE: In adding this support I discovered that the subroutine OUTCHR must
- preserve the bx register or the routine that initiates a transfer will get
- very lost. This is contrary to the information in the MSKERM.DOC file
- regarding supporting new machines, which indicates that the bx register is
- not required to be returned unchanged. I am using sources for the main
- body of Kermit which I obtained over BITNET about the end of November, 1985.
