- Keywords: HP-9000 Kermit, BASIC Kermit
- Xref: Hewlett-Packard, See HP
-
- This is to announce Kermit for the HP 9000 Series 200 and 300 BASIC
- workstations, written in HP-BASIC by Andrew Campagnola of Hewlett-Packard
- Measurement Systems Division in Loveland, Colorado, with contributions from
- Keith Moore at the HP NJ Division labs. This version, Kermit-RMB 1.0, of the
- program is the initial release. Kermit-RMB is capable of both remote and
- local operation, transfers text and binary files over both 8-bit and 7-bit
- connections, emulates the DEC VT100 terminal, does raw uploads and downloads,
- includes logging functions, has a macro facility, and handles Kermit File
- Attribute packets. It also printer control, a hex editor and dump facility,
- and a file type conversion utility. It lacks certain other capabilities
- including wildcard send, 2- and 3-character checksums, server functions, and
- long packets. The program runs on any Series 200/300 computer with 1MB of
- memory and BASIC 5.0 or greater, and will run on any HP serial interface
- available for these computers.
-
- Kermit-RMB comes with an extensive manual, BASIC source code, and binaries
- encoded in hexadecimal format. The files are in the "C" area of Kermit
- Distribution, kermit/c via anonymous FTP, or on the C tape, as files whose
- names start with HPB. The program will also be distributed by Interex, the
- international HP computer user group, on native-format 3.5" diskettes, and
- can also be obtained over BITNET from KERMSRV at CUVMA.
-
- Many thanks to Andy for contributing this program.
