- From: Christine M. Gianone <SY.CHRISTINE@CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU>
- Subject: New Release of Acorn BBC Kermit
-
- This is to announce version 1.45 of Acorn BBC Kermit from Alan Phillips of
- Lancaster University (SYSKERMIT%vax1.central.lancaster.ac.uk@Cs.Ucl.AC.UK),
- which replaces version 1.30 of April 1986. The program runs on Acorn models B,
- B+, B+128, and Master 128, with Acorn DFS, 1770 DFS, ADFS, Econet, or any other
- Acorn-compatible filing system.
-
- Version 1.45 comes with numerous big fixes and improvements, new documentation
- (including a 124-page manual), and a new version (1.50) of Alan's free 65c02
- assembler (which can be used to assemble the program by those who don't have
- the ADE assembler).
-
- The new version is in KER:BBC*.* (really K3:, or Tape C), for anonymous FTP
- from CU20B, and as BBC* * on BITNET/EARN from KERMSRV at CUVMA. The file
- BBC145.ANN lists in detail the changes to BBC Kermit since version 1.30.
- The source is in BBCKER.ASM, which is actually the concatenation of many
- smaller files (explained in comments at the top).
-
- Version 2.0 of BBC Kermit (which will appear in "many months") will support
- sliding windows. Thanks to Alan for producing this new version and sending it
- to us over BITNET.
