Digest submissions may be sent to Info-Kermit@WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU or
KERMIT@CUVMA.BITNET. Requests for addition to or deletion from the
Info-Kermit subscriber list should be sent to LISTSERV@CUVMA.BITNET or
LISTSERV@CUVMA.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU. These messages must be of the form:
SUBSCRIBE I$KERMIT <your-personal-name> (To start a subscription)
UNSUBSCRIBE I$KERMIT (To cancel a subscription)
REGISTER I$KERMIT <your-personal-name> (To correct your name)
Kermit files may be obtained over networks and by mail order. On the
Internetwork, use FTP to log in to host WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a Sun
SPARCserver running UNIX (SunOS 4.1), IP host number 128.59.39.2. Login as
user anonymous (note, lower case), any password, and GET or MGET (MULTIPLE
GET) the desired files. The file kermit/read.me is a general guide to where
things are. The Kermit files are in directories kermit/a, kermit/b, kermit/c,
kermit/d, and kermit/e. Test versions are in kermit/test. All files in these
directories should be transferred in text (ASCII) mode. Binaries are in
kermit/bin (use ftp in binary mode). All files on watsun (with the exceptions
of some of the READ.ME files) have lowercase names, and case is significant.
You can also get Kermit files over the BITNET/EARN network; to get started
send a message with text HELP to KERMSRV, the Kermit file server, at host
CUVMA. For detailed instructions, read the file kermit/a/aanetw.hlp
(AANETW.HLP on KERMSRV). To order by mail, request a complete list of Kermit
versions and an order form from Kermit Distribution, Columbia University
Academic Information Systems, 612 West 115th Street, New York, NY 10025 USA.

Keywords: MS-DOS Kermit 3.13
This is to announce the final release of MS-DOS Kermit 3.13 for the IBM PC,
PS/2, and compatibles with DOS or Windows, and also for "generic DOS", the
Victor 9000 (Sirius 1), and the Heath/Zenith 100. The new MS-DOS Kermit
release was prepared by Professor Joe R. Doupnik of Utah State University and
includes the major new features that were listed in Info Kermit V17 #3, 30
June 1993. To recapitulate, briefly:
. A new faster method for transferring binary and precompressed files
. Larger packets and windows allowed, up to 9024 x 31.
. Switching among multiple simultaneous TCP/IP sessions
. Data General DASHER terminal emulation
. Graphics-mode support for 132-column operation on EGA and VGA video adapters
. Text-mode support for 132-column operation on ET4000 and other VESA adapters
. Horizontal scrolling
. Expanded-memory option for screen rollback and graphics image retention
. Hebrew character-set translation and Hebrew terminal emulation
. East European character-set translation
. Icelandic CP861 code page support
. Separate code page selection for terminal emulation and file transfer
. Compose-key sequences for entering accented characters
. New KERMIT PATH environment variable
. Support for Novell SLIP_PPP ODI driver and other networking improvements
. BOOTP improvements
. TELNET improvements, including option negotiation display
. DIAL-command support for additional modem types
The new files are listed below. Be sure to use binary mode when FTP'ing files
from kermit/bin. Use text mode for kermit/a files.

Also, on watsun only:
kermit/bin/msvibm.zip
is a ZIP file containing the new MS-DOS Kermit (IBM PC version) distribution
diskette. Unzip it using "pkunzip -d msvibm.zip". The "-d" switch is to
preserve the (new) subdirectory structure. Any version of PKUNZIP since 1990
should work.
Once again, please note that all the new features are documented in the
MSKERM.UPD file, with additional details of a more technical nature in the
MSKERM.BWR file.
The ".boo" files are .EXE or other binary files encoded in a printable ASCII
format, suitable for BITNET, e-mail, and other nontransparent modes of
transmission. You can decode the boo-files back into .EXE files using any of
the MSBPCT.* programs available in kermit/a/msbpct.* or MSBPCT * from
KERMSRV. See kermit/a/msbaaa.hlp (MSBAAA HLP) for details.
All the MS-DOS Kermit-related files have been removed from the test areas
(kermit/test on watsun, T: on KERMSRV).
Thanks again to Joe on behalf of all MS-DOS Kermit users everywhere. Thanks
too to Yossi Gil at the Technion in Israel for lots of last-minute help with
MS-DOS Kermit's Hebrew features.
