- This is to announce a version of Kermit for the IBM PC by Terje Mathisen of
- Norsk Hydro Data, announced by him on BIX in November 87 (his BIX mail ID is
- "terjem"). It's written in Turbo Pascal, and claims to include long packets
- AND sliding windows, and a nonstandard "fast mode", in which data fields are
- not encoded at all (it can only use this to talk to itself). There is dumb
- terminal emulation, which seems to take place only in a small horizontal
- window under the command menu.
-
- The source files arrived with nonstandard naming conventions, and have
- therefore been packed into a single file, TP4KER.PAS, with name markers like
- <<< KERMIT.PAS >>> at the head of each file. The executable program is
- in TP4KER.BOO. There is no manual, but a very short help file is in
- TP4KER.HLP. Comments & reviews welcome, as would be results of testing the
- long packet and sliding window features against other Kermit implementations
- that have them.
