There are some tricks.
The best trick is to get a more up-to-date version of Kermit (3.13 or 3.14
Beta), which allows *huge* rollback buffers if you put them in Expanded
Memory (EMS) via the new command SET TERMINAL EXPANDED-MEMORY ON. Then
you can use SET TERM ROLLBACK <number> to allocate as many as 8000
rollback screens. NOTE: This requires that you have a big physical memory
(more than 2MB or more) and that you use an expanded memory manager to
configure a lot of EMS. See the KERMIT.BWR file that comes with version
3.13 or 3.14.
Then you can REPLAY the log file and it will fly past at 100 miles per
hour. But after that you can use Home, PgUp, PgDn, Ctrl-PgUp, Ctrl-PgDn,
and End to view it at your leisure. (You can also use new keyboard verbs
to scroll right and left, in case the virtual screen is wider than the
physical screen).
The second trick would be to transfer the log file to the host and then
either run it through something like "more" (not great, since it
interferes with the display), or write a little utility program that looks
for special "signs" in the log (which you would insert with an editor), at
which it should pause until you press a key.
For MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 Beta: anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu, directory
kermit/test/bin, binary mode, file mstibm.zip.
