Mail-From: SY.FDC created at 11-Jun-86 16:30:43

Subject: Kermit for PDP-8 with OS-278
To: Info-Kermit@CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU
Message-ID: <12214037292.278.SY.FDC@CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU>
This is to announce Kermit for the DEC PDP-8 or DECmate running an operating
system called OS-278. OS-278 is similar to OS-8, but has support for more
modern devices -- like RX50 diskette drives -- added. OS-278 is not the same
as WPS. It is not a DEC product, but is available from DECUS, and is used
within DEC for DECmate development. This Kermit program is based on the OS-8
version of Kermit done by Jerry Sands & Randy Hippe of Hippe of Bureau of
Engraving Inc, Minneapolis MN, and was adapted to OS-278 by Martyn Hemmings
at DEC, in Germany. The files are in KER:K278*.* on CU20B, available via
anonymous FTP, or on CUVMA as K278* *, available (traffic permitting) via
BITNET KERMSRV.
It is hoped that this program will eventually serve as a basis for a "native"
DECmate WPS Kermit.
