[Regarding the C-Kermit Alpha Paging script...]
: Actually, I seemed to have found the problem. There were 5 places where

: was before the "No prompt", another was in front of the "Timed out or
: unknown response", in front of "Forced disconnect," in front of "Illegal
: message" and at the end "Timed out or unknown response." That fixed my
: problem. Possibly the compiled version I downloaded has a bad version of
: this script.
:
These are not comments, they are error messages to be printed by the script
under the appropriate conditions; thus they should not be commented out.
The Kermit command:
END <n> <text>
means to exit from the current command level (macro or command file) to the
previous one, returning a code of <n> (0 = success, nonzero = failure) and
print the <text>. The status code and text are optional.
: I have since used ckepage with success! So 1K length may not be the
: issue here.
:
It was -- the TAPMSG script was just a few bytes over 1K in length; the new
one fits in 1K:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/f/ckepage.ksc
Its size was reduced by abbreviating some of the commands (IN for INPUT, OUT
for OUTPUT, etc).
Incidentally, while looking at this problem, I also discovered that the END
command, when issued from within a SWITCH statment, did not produce the
desired effect, and so:
1. A source-level patch was added to the C-Kermit PATCHES file:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/f/PATCHES
2. The updated ckepage.ksc works around this by using STOP rather than END.
However, this could interfere with applications that embed calls to
TAPMSG within other C-Kermit scripts, so solution (1) is preferable.
The next C-Kermit release will fix this problem.
