Version 3.5 of Kermit-40 provides the following:
Main features:
* Inclusion of Server mode.
* Repeat count prefixing available.
* Receive command can be specified with a filename.
* A file of initialising commands can be read at the start of a Kermit
run, as provided for in some Kermits as a 'TAKE' file.
* Packets of up to 94 characters can now be sent, and upto 80 characters
can be received.
Bugs fixed:
* Overprints were still output to &KERMLOG, this has been fixed.
* Error messages from the Send command were incorrect.
* I/O buffers have been enlarged, to prevent overwriting problems in
&KERMLOG.
* Eight bit quoting is now handled whenever agreed, irrespective of the
SET BINARY option.
* The code has been altered so that the standard GEC version will now
compile.
* Prefix encoding and decoding is now done on file header packets.
* A check has been included to prevent text file records received from
exceeding 235 characters.
General improvements:
* The Data Management error code after a DMCONNECT is now written to
&KERMLOG.
* Conversion of file names to 'normal form' can now be switched off.
* Output from the SHOW command displays off/on instead of 0/1.
* In Receive, the message 'oldname receiving as newname' appears in
&KERMLOG.
