MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 Beta-12 is available for anonymous ftp from
kermit.columbia.edu as of about 5pm EST, 14 November 1994.
kermit/test/bin/mstibm.zip - Binary ZIP file
kermit/test/text/mstibm.uue - Uuencoded ZIP file
kermit/test/text/mstibm.boo - BOO-encoded ZIP file
The UUE and BOO files are also available on BITNET from KERMSRV at CUVMA.
Changes and fixes since Beta-11 include:
- Additional RTS/CTS and SET CARRIER ON fixes and enforcement. Heavy
testing needed (more of it...)
- Kanji terminal emulation completed. Use MS-DOS Kermit on regular IBM PCs
with EGA or VGA or higher and DOS/V to read Kanji (fj.*) newsgroups, access
the Nikkei Telecom database, use other host-based Kanji applications like
e-mail, etc. Transfer Kanji text files between PC and host without garbling
the characters (Shift-JIS to JIS conversion), etc. Many thanks to Hirofumi
Fujii for this work.
- Cyrillic font fixed; "e" is no longer displayed as "c" (thanks to Yossi Gil
at the Technion for getting this fixed so promptly). Russian keyboard
drivers (thanks to Dimitri Vulis) and documentation added. If you have an
8-bit-clean host-based newsreader, simply type "cyrillic" at the MS-Kermit>
prompt, and then browse the relcom.* newsgroups (assumes postings are in
KOI8, but Kermit can also handle ISO 8859-5 and Short KOI). See
CYRILLIC\READ.ME for details.
- Compose u-circumflex fixed (required reading in Canada :-)
- SET KEY capacity increased to 269 key definitions, 256 string definitions,
and 2000 bytes of string space.
- WPGGOLD.COM added, an alternative to GOLD.COM, allowing Num Lock to
be used as a regular key with its own unique scan code (\325). VT300.INI
updated to account for this scan code. Thanks to Novell's new WordPerfect
Division for this contribution.
- EMACS.INI added: key mappings for EMACS users, primarily allowing the
Alt key to be used as the EMACS Meta key.
Thanks, as ever, to Joe Doupnik for his skillful work and for integrating the
work of the others acknowledged above.
Please continue to send reports by e-mail to kermit@columbia.edu.
