- From: Chris Maio <CHRIS@CUCS20>
- Subject: MDS Kermit (finally!)
- To: sy.fdc@CU20B
-
- The sources for ISIS-Kermit (ISIS is the CPM-like operating system for the
- 8080-based Intel MDS) are in PS:<CC.FDC.TEMP>, along with a control file that
- shows how they're linked together. There isn't really any documentation
- around, but the code is simple enough that it's not hard to figure out what's
- going on. Basically, it's just a 7-bit bare-bones (by 1982 standards) Kermit,
- based more or less on the earliest C version. It doesn't allow wildcards, but
- you can specify multiple files on the "send" command line and receive multiple
- commands from another Kermit; there's also some crude but useful debugging code
- (the "d" command turns it on).
-
- Sorry for the delay; I had to promise that the authors of the code would
- remain anonymous, but feel free to give my number (280-8122) to the recipients
- in case they have any questions about the MDS (in case theirs isn't really
- compatible).
