- 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.
