I announced C-Kermit 8.0 Beta.02 yesterday on the Kermit newsgroup:
comp.protocols.kermit.misc
You can find it here:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html
Of course I still keep the VMS version current, and built this one
on 5.5 through 7.2 with and without various TCP/IP packages (TGV,
UCX, TCPware, etc).
Can somebody who has VMS 7.3 and a C compiler please try building
it there? (Was VMS 7.3 also released for VAX?)
Other builds are needed too:
. Any pre-5.5 VMS version
. VMS 6-point-anything on VAX
By the way, the new release of C-Kermit includes a built-in FTP client,
which, because it's built-in to C-Kermit, is also fully scriptable and
has all the other Kermit file transfer features, such as restart,
automatic text/binary-mode switching, character-set translation, and
cross-platform recursive directory-tree transfer. But it's only for UNIX.
That's because it would take a better VMS programmer than I am to adapt
it to VMS, mainly because of all the RMS aspects and the associated FTP
protocol tricks used for VMS-to-VMS transfers and/or exporting bizarre
VMS file formats to non-VMS systems, etc. If anybody is interested in
taking this on, let me know.
C-Kermit 8.0 also includes all sorts of security: Kerberos IV and V,
SSL/TLS, and SRP. That hasn't been ported to VMS either. Same deal.
