Version 4.08 and 4.09 of Kermit-80 are developments of the previous release
4.05, changed to add more features and also make the incorporation of new
systems easier.  Much of the system-dependent code is as it was in 4.05, but
the reformatting and conversion has been done at Loughborough University, from
where the work was co-ordinated.  The names of the files for version 4.08 and
4.09 now follow a fixed convention.  They all have the form

     CPaxxx.bbb

In these names:

     "a" is one of

          A for general information
          K for documentation and beware files
          S for system independent files
          X for system-dependent source files
          V for system-dependent hex files

     "xxx" is used to identify unique files used

     "bbb" is the file extention, usually one of:

          ASM for source files
          HEX for  pre-assembled modules or completeprograms  (eg 
               LASM.HEX is the assembler)
          HLP for help files
          BWR for beware files
          ANN for notes
          TXT for pure text files
          DOC as for TXT
          MSS SCRIBE sources files (for document files.)

CPKFET.* is a bootstrapping procedure that can be used if you have no other
way to download the new files.

Version 4.08 must be assembled and linked with LASM and MLOAD respectively,
while V4.09 may use the M80 assembler as well.  (I have **NO IDEA** if the
MAC80 assembler will work or not!).

It is also possible to assemble the source files on an IBM PC or clone using
the Z80MU CP/M V2.2 and Z80 emulator, itself running the LASM or M80 assembler.
(Using Z80MU is very useful if your target systems does not have enough disk
space for all the source files.)

Full details of building this version can be found in CPKERM.MSG.  You will
find LASM and MLOAD in the Lancaster filestore as [.CP4]LASM.HEX and
[.CP4]MLOAD.HEX respectively.

The Z80MU emulator can also be collected from Lancaster University's Micro
Software Distribution Services.  The M80 assembler is a Microsoft product, and
you have to pay good money for it.

Currently, the code for a number of systems has been upgraded from version
4.05.  The particular system is indicated in filenames by the "xxx" part: codes
currently in use are:

APP  Apple II with Z80 card
          - with Micromodem in slot 2
          - with 6551 and 6850 UARTs
          - with CP Multifunction card

BBI  Kaypro, Bigboard, and Xerox 820 systems

CIF  Cifer 1886 using the VL:  or AL ports as TTY:Line. (Use &set 
     to  set ttyi:  and ttyo:  to the VL:  or AL:port)  Choice of 
     CP/M V2.2 or 3.0 ("PLUS")

HEA  Heath systms (Heath 8 with quad IO interface board)
     Telcon ZORBA

PCW  Amstrad PCW 8256 and 8152 as well as CP/M-plus on CPC 6128

NOR  Northstar Advantage
     Northstar Horizon (Several: labels in CPXTYP are:
          BASICNS
          NORTHS
          HORIZON
     Comart  Communicator.  This  is included as it  is  somewhat 
     similar to the Northstar Horizon.

TOR  Superbrain  (Main and Aux port versions..  assumes MicroMods 
     add-ons)
     Torch systems (runs ok on Unicorn-5 under CP/N)
     Ithaca Intersystems series machines using the VIO card. (PCI 
     2651 USARTS)
     NCR DecisionMate V systems

as well as another half dozen single system only family files.  The total list
of systems supported so far is:

Any comment, suggestions etc send them in.  I will not guarentee that your
