- Subject: Kermit for the HP2647
-
- There is now a Kermit available for the HP2647 programmable graphics
- terminal, with or without tape units. It supports data compression
- and interaction with servers. The executable module is in the form of
- a long ESCAPE sequence that drives the resident loader. After being
- loaded it can be invoked as needed by typing 'kermit' in command mode.
- This Kermit can probably be adapted to run on other HP264x models.
- Source and documentation are available through KERMSRV.

- Subject: Release 1.2 of Kermit for HP264x
-
- At long last, the new release of Rover-Kermit is ready. The update
- consists of new versions of HP264X.ASM, HP264X.HEX, and HP264X.MSS,
- and the latter should provide a new HP264X.DOC as well. The following
- are the most important of the changes and improvements in Release 1.2:
-
- 1. Two-byte checksums.
- 2. Mnemonic commands for setting parameters.
- 3. More elaborate display of current settings.
- 4. ^X/^Z interruption.
- 5. Retain filespec on RAM file.
- 6. Display any characters received while waiting for handshake.
- 7. Fixed bug in creating repeat strings from runs longer than 94.
- 8. Flush data communication buffer before starting any transaction
- (except the first in a given session).
- 9. The ROLL and HOME keys now work for the conversation workspace.
