: ^^^^^^^
Here you are telling K95 to receive the incoming file and to store
under the name which is the value of \%p. Evidently \%p is defined
as "rec_C_/TEMP/jos.r". Do you have a directory called "rec_C_"?
If not, this would explain the failure.
I think the change occurs because of a bug that was fixed in 1.1.13,
regarding pathnames for incoming files. Where does "rec_C_" come from?
Your script, or from the file header of the incoming file? In any case,
to restore the earlier behavior, try telling K95 to "set receive
pathnames off".
If this doesn't help, please let us know at:
kermit-support@columbia.edu
and we'll pursue it further.
