:>Hmm, well, here's what I would take a crack at...
:>
:>1) See if there isn't a macro that connects you to a machine and
:> changes something around. Do you connect by hand (set port tcp ...) or
:> do you have a macro handle all of this?
:
:I have removed all macros out of the `take` file. The problem appears
:to be the way the UNIX system is initializing the terminal type,
:
:ie. tput init
:
:That command seems to reset the terminal which includes adding kermits'
:status line back. This worked in V3.13.
Okay, what's probably happening is that tput is trying to (and
succeeding at reinitializing your screen). What you want to do is tell
tput to set the information for the host and just reset the terminal
(thus you're assuming everything on the terminal is fine--which it
should be). So, just use the ``tput reset'' command in your .login.
The ``reset'' argument tells it to just reset the terminal instead of
reinitializing it...
:>2) Need more information for this one. What type of network, etc...
:
:I am not sure the real problem behind this -- it could be that our LAN
:is just experiencing some traffic problems causing the drop in connection.
:I will try to find out more on this as the other problems are ironed out.
:
:>3) What was the original functionality that doesn't work now. Are you
:> sure that you didn't change some local setting somewhere in your
:> mscustom.ini after upgrading?
:
:There might just be a misunderstood idea of how it works; most people here
:think by setting rollback to 0 that there will be unlimited amount of
:screens to be saved. I will have to clarify this everyone involved here so
:that this one can be resolved without any testing involved.
Well, I would chalk it up to a misunderstanding. For as long as I can
remember, rollback 0 meant to turn off rollback. In fact, give me a
sec... Yep, double-checking in my Using MS-Kermit v3.11 (didn't want
to use the latest, just in case something may have changed), it says
the same thing.
:>4) Terminals and Terminalr don't exist anymore. Check the *.upd and
:> *.bwr files. Their funcionality has been replace by using apc command
:> codes. If you look at the C-Kermit ini files, you will see a bunch
:> of macros that use apc to send sequences down to the pc to do
:> ``one-sided'' file transfers.
:
:I have looked up the apc in the kermit.upd but have not come upon how to
:set it correctly on the PC side. There are examples on to do that same on
:the host side but do not relate equivalently. I also do not have .ini files
:where they are defined. Do you have any examples of such?
Okay, here are the macros from C-Kermit:
define pcget apc {send \%1 \%2}, receive
define pcsend asg \%9 \ffiles(\%1),-
if = 0 \%9 end 1 {\?File not found},-
set delay 1, apc receive,-
if = 1 \%9 send \%1 \%2,- ; Single file with as-name
else send \%1 ; or wildcard with no as-name
Make sure you do ``set term apc on'' to enable this feature. I think
that MS-Kermit only accepts and understand APC signals, but doesn't
send and out.
:>5) Hmmm... I don't know what to say for this one.
:
:I am not sure either but will get to this one when the others are resolved.
:
:>Hope this helped a little.
:>
:Thanks for the suggestions and for any other ideas.
Glad to be of help.
