MS-DOS Kermit Beta 17 is now available for testing. Bugs fixed since last
time are:
. A TAKE file once opened was never closed.
. Macro argument variables, \%0..\%9, were not removed after the last
nested macro exited and thus collided with possible non-macro use of the
same variable names.
. A harmless message occurred if a macro expected several arguments and
fewer were provided on the invocation line.
. A correction for Data General terminal emulation to clear video
attributes adversely affected VTxxx emulations, leading to unwanted
underlining, etc, after an erasure operation (only in Beta 16).
. SET KEY definitions involving a macro name were not parsed properly in a
few annoying cases.
And the following new feature was added:
. New variable \v(filespec) shows the filename pattern most recently used
for sending or receiving files. It may contain wild cards and paths,
depending on what the user typed.
MSK315.EXE and MSK315.DOC are in the MSK315.ZIP file at:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/bin/msk315.zip
Put it in your regular MS-DOS Kermit directory, unzip it, and run MSK315.EXE
instead of KERMIT.EXE. Read MSK315.DOC for documentation of changes since
version 3.14.
Thanks, as always, to Professor Joe Doupnik of Utah State University. Send
any problem reports to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
