NOne of which I am aware. As Frank da Cruz says, grab
kermit/a/cpkerm.doc -- this is about as definitive documentation as
exists for CP/M Kermit.

CP/M Kermit does not presently support VT-100 emulation. I'm working
on it in between beaucoup other projects :-) :-). One problem
in setting up a generic VT100-emulator in CP/M Kermit is that
the program supports a wide variety of terminals, not all of
which have sufficient capabilities to allow good VT-100 emulation.
Your terminal *does* have sufficient capabilities but, as I say,
CP/M kermit is designed, insofar as the terminal interface is
concerned, to be relatively general.
To add VT-100 emulation, you'll have to modify at least CPSCOM.ASM,
CPSDAT.ASM and CPSTT.ASM and probably other modules. AS I say,
I'm looking at the problem.
In the meantime, have you tried David Goodenough's comm program
QTERM for the CP/M environment? It supports a subset of kermit
functionality and has quite good VT-100 emulation insofar as
interpretation of received escape sequences is concerned. Files
are in oak.oakland.edu in /pub/cpm/qterm. You'll have to use
David Goodenough's ZSM assembler and ZPATCH patch utility to
assemble and merge the appropriate overlay into QTERM's object code.
Also, I've fixed a couple ofminor QTERM bugs; I plan to release
some patches ASAP.
If you need more help re either CP/M Kermit and/or QTERM, please
do not hesitate to E-mail me. I can be reached at the address
shown or (among others) at "freeman@watsun.cc.columbia.edu".
Good luck!
