-
- This directory contains all the source code required to build
- Arthur-kermit.
- This version of kermit is a port of the version produced by Acorn
- for the ACW running the Panos operating system.
- As a result the source code is split into two main parts:
-
- i) kermit itself
-
- ii) a library providing limited Panos compatibility,
- in particular a streams interface is supported.
- The library also includes the low-level driver
- code required for rs423 and keyboard access.
-
- To build kermit simply exec the file ``Makescr'' which will
- produce an executeable file ``kermit_rif''.
-
-
- Release Notes:
-
- 1. server is implemented, if prompted for a password, simply type [RETURN].
-
- 2. The interrupt character for Arthur-kermit is ESC, and CTL-C as for UNIX
- C-kermit. Note that ESC DOES NOT WORK with Arthur release 0.20!
-
- 3. The code for driving smart modems and remote login scripts has been
- removed.
-
- 4. Type kermit -h, not kermit -help for a list of command line options.
-
- 5. The single character wild card character is now @ rather than ?.
-
- 6. There is some nastiness on exit from kermit, this seems to blow-away
- Arthur, I do not understand why!
-
- 7. vt52 emulation is incomplete, in particular scrolling is not
- implemented, thus editing is inconvenient using a screen editor.
-
- 8. The mapping of file name formats to and from local/remote form is
- naive.
-
- 9. The escape sequence for ending terminal connection is CTL-F1 and cannot be
- changed using set!
-
- 10. sessiong logging is very primitive, only non ctl characters are stored.
