MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 Beta-10 is available for anonymous ftp from
kermit.columbia.edu as of 11:15am EST, Monday, 7 November 1994:
kermit/test/bin/mstibm.zip - Binary ZIP file
kermit/test/text/mstibm.uue - Uuencoded ZIP file
kermit/test/text/mstibm.boo - BOO-encoded ZIP file
The UUE and BOO files are also available on BITNET from KERMSRV at CUVMA.
Changes and fixes since Beta-10 include:
. Correction of RTS/CTS flow control problems that were introduced in
Beta-10.
. Addition of full Japanese character-ser support in terminal emulation:
a) Additional character sets:
JIS-Katanaka (JIS X 201, ISO(ECMA)#13)
JIS-Roman (JIS X 201, ISO(ECMA)#14)
b) Additional choices in SET TERMINAL OUTPUT-SHIFT (for keyboarding
of different Kanji character sets):
JIS7-Kanji, EUC-Kanji, and DEC-Kanji.
JIS7-Kanji can take the following modifers:
JIS83-US (default)
JIS83-Roman
JIS83-75Roman
JIS78-US
JIS78-Roman
JIS78-75Roman
NOTE: This item still needs a bit more work, and should be fully
operational in the next Beta edit.
. Correction of some subtle bugs in screen management which were evident
on Japanese DOS machines.
. Pointer safety check added in the BOOTP client routine to ensure
trouble does not occur if a BOOTP server fails to send a terminal token
(255) in the response packet.
. One more quick-action routine in file transfer code to react to loss of
modem CD as soon as possible, primarily for BBS operators.
. Two bugs corrected in the Wyse-50 terminal emulation, relating to
setting of bold/dim/reverse visual attributes and to using a full 132
column screen.
. Begin packing the executable files to save space on distribution
media. This is the /EXEPACK option in LINK, not PKZIP or similar.
Thanks, as always, to Joe Doupnik of Utah State University for this work,
and also to Hirofumi Fujii of the Japan National Laboratory of High Energy
Physics for the Kanji work, and for noticing and fixing some subtle bugs
in the general screen management area.
Please continue to send reports by e-mail to kermit@columbia.edu.
