C-Kermit 9.0 Alpha.03 is ready for testing. Here's the page that
summarizes what's new:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck90.html
There's one item that should be of interest to any site that uses HP
ProCurve network switches.
But most of the work this time is specific to VMS:
. Premilinary ODS5 support
. "Large file" support on Alpha and IA64, including (we hope) correct
file transfer progress display and statistics for huge files, and
also access to 64-bit integers in the command and script language.
. The Kermit FTP client is included by default in all TCP/IP builds.
This needs a good deal of testing.
. OpenSSL builds should automatically configure themselves according
to the perceived SSL version.
. Improved support for ever-older VMS versions. Anybody out there
have VMS 5-point-something?
For more about the Kermit FTP client see:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftpclient.html
This has been part of the Unix version of C-Kermit for almost 10 years
but until now has not been adapted to VMS. Note that if you build
C-Kermit with SSL, then you'll also have a secure FTP client (FTPS).
Comments, questions, corrections, etc, to me.
