Subject: Announcing MS-DOS Kermit 3.15 Beta 25
Date: 7 Sep 1997 17:06:36 GMT
Organization: Columbia University
Lines: 44

New commands:
SET INPUT FILTER-ECHO { ON, OFF }
When ON (which is the default), only printable characters and controls
are sent to the screen when INPUT ECHO is ON. When OFF, all incoming
characters (except NUL and DEL, which are discarded) are passed to the
screen, the idea being that a console driver (such as ANSI.SYS) will
process them and format the screen nicely -- this only works if the
escape and control sequences coming from the host are recognized by the
console driver; remember, MS-DOS Kermit's terminal emulator is NOT
active during INPUT commands.
Bugs fixed:
. IF NUMERIC did not work for unsigned numbers longer than one digit.
. \frpad() and flpad() ignored a blank third argument and used the closing
paren instead.
. Array elements could not be assigned, e.g. by READ.
. Writing an empty array element into a file could cause MSK or DOS to crash.
. Assigning \%x variables inside SWITCH statement didn't work.
. S, I, and A packets and/or their ACKs could be sent that were longer than
the requested size; conversely, incoming packets that were longer than the
requested size could be rejected even when the actual buffer was long
enough to accommodate them. Both conditions have been corrected. This
problem was evident only when very short packet lengths were requested.
Beta 25 is in the usual place:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/bin/msk315.zip
As with the previous Betas, download this one into your regular MS-DOS
Kermit 3.14 directory and unzip it. It makes MSK315.EXE and MSK315.DOC
files which do not conflict with your current installation. To test, just
run MSK315 instead of KERMIT. Send reports to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
Thanks, as always, to Joe D! And thanks to Dominique Ottello for reporting
many of the bugs that were fixed in this Beta.
