Wettingen 15.1.87
-----------------
Well here it is the first release of UniTerm this year. The major difference
to version v1.6d/e is the Kermit file transfer protocoll and 3 bug fixes. The
uuencoded and arced executable is now cut up in to 5 pieces (UniTerm.A.......
UniTerm.E), a new version of Keyedit.Prg is also provided, which will work
with all future versions of UniTerm.
Here come the changes one by one:
Bug fixes:
----------
Pressing <Alternate><B> or <Alternate><L> didn't restore DTR, this has been
fixed. If you don't want DTR to be dropped (Modem etc.) you can use the
macro function to send a break without dropping DTR.
The Y part of the extended byte was always zeroed in Tek mode (it was:
....Shr(ExByte,2) & $000C instead of Shr(ExByte,2) & $0003).
The Zoom function on a color monitor didn't scale properly, I can just
hope it is fixed now, since I don't have a color monitor for testing.
Setup file and KeyEdit.Prg
--------------------------
The name of the default setup file has been changed to UniTerm.Set, the format
has been changed so that even if the size of the setup file changes the new
version of KeyEdit can edit the keyboard tables.
Kermit
------
This a base version of Kermit, this means it doesn't support the following
functions:
-repeat count prefixing
-operating as server
-CRC and 2 character checksum
Since this version of Kermit was written from scratch, there still may be some
problems, it has been tested with VMS and VM/CMS Kermit and with itself,
the maxium transfer rate is about 480 Bytes/Sec (UniTerm to UniTerm 19200 Baud)
UniTerm Kermit writes/reads to/from the Tek-Buffer, so there is also a gain
from not having as many disk accesses as GEM-Kermit.
UniTerm Kermit functions:
Send : Send file(s) (with wildcard expansion and mutiple file
transfer)
Receive : Receive file(s) (files will not be overwritten, UniTerm
will generate a file name of the form filename.XXX with
XXX a number, selecting OK without entering a filename
will cause files to be created with the filename sent
by the host, they will be received to the directory
specified in the file-selector dialog).
Put : Just a different name for send.
Get : Receive a file from host in server mode.
Quit : Terminate the Kermit in server mode.
Logout : Logout on the host system.
Command : Send remote command to server. (You can also send
generic server commands by entering a ^G as first
character and as second the command (D,U etc.) +
commandline).
Binary : If the serial port is set to anything else than
No Parity this command enables 8-Bit prefixing,
otherwise the 8th Bit is not masked out.
There are a few more not so important changes, if you have any more questions
please ask!
