- Subject: A New Release of Kermit for CTOS and BTOS
- Keywords: CTOS, BTOS, Convergent, Burroughs B20
-
- From Evan Arnerich and Doug Drury of ITT Federal Services Corporation, Santa
- Maria, CA: version 2.00 of CT-Kermit for the Burroughs B20/BTOS and Convergent
- NGEN/CTOS systems. This new version adds many of the capabilities of MS-DOS
- Kermit 3.x and C-Kermit 5A, particularly script programming features (INPUT,
- OUTPUT, IF, ASK, GOTO, variables, etc), and includes a built-in VT101 terminal
- emulator.
-
- Version 2.00 of CT-Kermit replaces version 1.07 of July 1988, which was
- contributed by Joel Dunn of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
-
- The new files replace the old ones in kermit/c/ct*.* on
- watsun.cc.columbia.edu. The old version has been moved to kermit/old on
- watsun. The new version is also available from KERMSRV at CUVMA as CT* *.
-
- Many thanks to Evan and Doug for their contribution!

- Last fall I sent you a copy of Kermit that I had ported to CTOS on Convergent
- NGEN systems and BTOS on the Burroughs B20. I just dropped another version
- in the mail that adds a few features and fixes a few bugs. This version I
- call CTOS-Kermit 1.07, and the most significant feature is probably its VT100
- emulation in terminal mode. It isn't a perfect VT100, but it works for most
- things without blowing up. I have had this version in distribution since
- January, and have have heard positive feedback, and I have not heard from
- anyone that was having problems.

- [Ed. - Thanks, Joel! The new version has replaced the old one as KER:CT*.*
- in the Kermit Distribution. The files and naming conventions are listed in
- KER:CTAAAA.DOC. The program is based on an old release of C-Kermit, but Joel
- says that when he gets C-Kermit 4E(070) he will try to add the CTOS/BTOS
- support to it, so it will be yet another of the regular C-Kermits.]

- Subject: C-Kermit for CTOS
-
- Over the last year, I have been gradually porting C-Kermit 4.2(030) march 85
- to CTOS, a multi-tasking proprietary operating system that runs on Convergent
- Technologies NGEN micro computers. I re-wrote the comm line I/O, disk I/O,
- and video I/O, and added a rudimentary VT100 emulation option. The protocol
- code is pretty much as I got it, as is the command parser and things like that.
- I use it fairly regularly, both as a terminal emulator and for text and binary
- file transfers to my local Unix machine running C-Kermit.
-
- My port is not perfect, but I would like to offer it up to the "Kermit Gods"
- if you are at all interested. I know it is based on "old" source, but that
- is what I was able to easily get at the time I started this project, back in
- the summer of '86. I only worked on it as time permitted, so that's why it
- took me a year to get it where I thought it worked.
-
- Let me know if you want me to send it to you.
