Kermit-32 v3.3.111 Release Notes Page 1
The following are the various changes that have gone into Kermit-32 version
3.3.111. This version is a maintenance version only and does not contain
any major development work. This version has been tested under VMS 4.4 and
4.5 only.
The following are the edits in Kermit-32 version 3.3.111.
o Edit 3.3.100
Add TRANSMIT command along with SET/SHOW TRANSMIT ECHO and DELAY
commands.
o Edit 3.3.101
Change $TRNLOG system service calls to LIB$SYSTRNLOG library
routine. Handle no translation properly in VMSTRM.BLI.
o Edit 3.3.102
Add changes/fixes suggested by Art Guion and David Deley for
VMSTRM.BLI
o Turn off FALLBACK terminal characteristics for eightbit
operations.
o Decrease IBM timeouts when waiting for a handshake.
o Edit 3.3.103
Add changes/fixes suggested by David Deley for VMSMIT.BLI Problem
with an infinite loop getting a command.
o Edit 3.3.104
Add changes/fixes suggested by Art Guion and David Deley for
KERMSG.BLI.
o Always attempt a handshake in IBM mode. Failing to handshake
may cause 3704/5 style controller to hang a VM system.
o Don't lose the last character in a buffer. BFRFILL logic
forgets to send the last cahracters of a file when it doesn't
fit into the current packet.
o Edit 3.3.105
Attempt to fix the truncation errors that we now get from LINK
with BLISS-32 v4.2. Also do code clean up in VMSTRM and VMSFIL.
o Edit 3.3.106
Fix problem of closing a fixed file and losing data.
o Edit 3.3.107
Do not abort on ERROR packet while in SERVER mode. Instead,
return to SERVER IDLE mode.
o Edit 3.3.110
Make KERMIT-32 close the terminal (so the terminal parameters are
appropriately reset) upon reciept of a GENERIC LOGOUT packet.

o Edit 3.3.111
Make Kermit-32 not eat the parity from a CR if a LF doesn't follow
it when writing an ASCII file.
The following are know problems with Kermit-32 3.3.111.
o Commands are upcased so that LIB$TPARSE will scan the command
correctly. This causes problems when attempting to set the prompt
and sending server commands to a UNIX based Kermit.
o Kermit-32 will quote multiple characters with "~" in a file name
even if the REPEAT_QUOTE character is set to space.
o When receiving a file of type FIXED, if the final record is not
exactly 512 bytes, then an error occurs and the receiving Kermit
blows up.
o Kermit-32 can hang on a virtual terminal due to XON-XOFF
processing between the VAX and a remote system.
