I switched from Cygwin to the U/WIN tools. I must say that I am very
impressed.
I installed U/WIN on an NT box which had Visual C++ 5. Then I added a
ckermit makefile entry based on the linux target, but stripped down a little
(appended below). I did _not_ remove tcp, ncurses, or uucp. Then I did "make
uwin". About a minute later I had a kermit executable. No compile or link
errors in sight.
Kermit started up beautifully. The first test I did was to use ckermit to
telnet back into the uwin telnetd on the same NT box. (One nice side-benefit
of C-Kermit is that it provides a command line telnet client which U/WIN is
lacking.) Then within telnet I ran another copy of Kermit and put it into
server mode. Then I escaped back out to the first Kermit and transferred
some files extremely fast (not surprisingly). One glitch was that the
full-screen ckermit mode trashed the screen and caused the transfers to
become very slow. But turning off full-screen fixed that. Perhaps I did not
have my terminal set up properly. Or maybe U/WIN ncurses is buggy. Another
error occurred when I did "dir" or "ls" from the kermit command prompt. A
windows error box popped up each time informing me of a bad memory
reference. But the listing completed on the terminal as expected. Serial
port transfers seem to work well. I have not tried anything with modems.
Overall, I am astonished that within 10 or 15 minutes I had unpacked and
installed U/WIN, unpacked and compiled C-Kermit almost out of the box and
got it running over TCP and serial ports. David Korn has gone a long way
toward making NT just another flavor of Unix. That's progress.
