Hi everybody. I've just put up C-Kermit 7.1 Beta.01:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck71.html
There have been just a few minor changes since Alpha.04:
. FTP client verbosity adjustments.
. Bug with generic modem dialing pausing several secs fixed.
. SET HOST /USER:, SET LOGIN USERID, etc, fixed when given no user ID.
. A couple \v(dm_blah) dial modifier variables added.
. "--version" command-line switch added.
. Fixed NetBSD serial-port DTR handling.
. Lots of syntax cleanups for Flexelint and gcc -Wall.
. Fixed modem-type aliases to not take precedence over real names.
. Fixed funny treatment of doublequotes by ECHO command.
. Enabled SET SESSION-LOG for VMS and other non-UNIX platorms.
. Fixed changing direction in command history buffer.
. Fixed handling of IKSD URLs.
. Made sure DELETE prints a message if it got any errors.
In all, the changes since Alpha.02 in January have been very minor.
Either this is a remarkably stable version, or nobody is using it. In
any case, I plan to remove the Beta designation within a week or two and
release it for real, so if you use C-Kermit but have not tested version
7.1 yet, this is your last chance to find any problems and report them.
Beta.01 has been built on nearly 100 different OS/hardware/compiler
combinations so far. Please see the binaries list at the end of the web
page; if you have a platform that does not have a Beta.01 binary listed,
please try building it there and upload the result to:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/incoming/cku199b01.xxx
where xxx follows the normal convention of makefile entry name,
hardware, OS release, whatever was used in C-Kermit 7.0:

If you have trouble, let me know.
In case anybody was wondering, we ran out of time and were not able to
include SSH or SSH2 in this version. We do expect, however, to have SSH
the next one. Meanwhile, version 7.1 includes Kerberos IV, Kerberos V,
SSL/TLS, and SRP are included in the source-code archives, but due to US
government restrictions on the export of binaries containing strong
encryption, no prebuilt secure binaries are available; you'll have to
build them yourself from the source code. Instructions are here:
