We don't withhold information in our answers to questions. If we had a
precise release date, we'd give it. For any new release, there is a testing
process. If problems are discovered in the field, then we correct or work
around them prior to the release. We keep doing this until all known problems
are addressed because it is in nobody's best interest to release buggy
software.
: And do all these error catching problems also occur on Windows NT ?
:
It turns out that the lack of status codes returned from external programs
invoked from K95 was the result of two bugs: one in Kermit 95 (corrected in
1.1.16) and the other in the Windows 95 command shell. The latter bug does
not occur in the Windows NT command shell, nor in any of the known alternative
(non-Microsoft) command shells for Windows 95. Therefore, Kermit 95 1.1.16
will obtain and report an external program's or command's exit status if the
intervening command shell reports it to Kermit 95. If you are using Windows
95, you'll need to install an alternative command shell like Hamilton C-Shell,
4DOS, etc, that does what a command shell is supposed to do. If you have
Windows NT, all this should work fine with any shell.
