This directory contains all the source code required to build
Arthur-kermit.
This version of kermit is a port of the version produced by Acorn
for the ACW running the Panos operating system.
As a result the source code is split into two main parts:
i) kermit itself
ii) a library providing limited Panos compatibility,
in particular a streams interface is supported.
The library also includes the low-level driver
code required for rs423 and keyboard access.
To build kermit simply exec the file ``Makescr'' which will
produce an executeable file ``kermit_rif''.
Release Notes:
1. server is implemented, if prompted for a password, simply type [RETURN].
2. The interrupt character for Arthur-kermit is ESC, and CTL-C as for UNIX
C-kermit. Note that ESC DOES NOT WORK with Arthur release 0.20!
3. The code for driving smart modems and remote login scripts has been
removed.
4. Type kermit -h, not kermit -help for a list of command line options.
5. The single character wild card character is now @ rather than ?.
6. There is some nastiness on exit from kermit, this seems to blow-away
Arthur, I do not understand why!
7. vt52 emulation is incomplete, in particular scrolling is not
implemented, thus editing is inconvenient using a screen editor.
8. The mapping of file name formats to and from local/remote form is
naive.
9. The escape sequence for ending terminal connection is CTL-F1 and cannot be
changed using set!
10. sessiong logging is very primitive, only non ctl characters are stored.
