Subject: Announcing C-Kermit 7.0
Date: 20 Jan 2000 22:52:03 GMT
Organization: Columbia University
Message-ID: <8683ij$aet$1@newsmaster.cc.columbia.edu>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
This is to announce C-Kermit 7.0, the first new release since version 6.0
was announced here in September 1996. For those who don't know, C-Kermit is
communications software that:
. runs on many platforms: VOS, Unix, VMS, etc.
. works with many communication methods (serial and network)
and that offers:
. interactive online terminal sessions
. file transfer
. character-set translation
and scripting to allow automation of anything you could do by hand.
C-Kermit 7.0 has been fully adapted to VOS by David Lane of Atlanta GA,
lane@watsun.cc.columbia.edu. You can find it at:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
C-Kermit 7.0 can serve as the VOS end for Kermit file transfer when you come
in to VOS from a terminal emulator that supports Kermit protocol, and it can
also make connections from VOS to other computers by dialing out, by Telnet,
or with X.25.
We have VOS binaries ready-made for VOS 14.0.1 on the Continuum in four
configurations:
1. For VOS systems with no networking installed.
2. For VOS systems with TCP/IP installed.
3. For VOS systems with X.25 installed.
4. For VOS systems with TCP/IP and X.25 installed.
You can find them in the binaries list:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html#binlist
This is a step up from C-Kermit 6.0, in which we did not have
configuration-specific binaries.
We still would like to collect binaries for the other archictures (mc68k and
i860) and for older VOS versions (12.x.x, 13.x.x); you'll need the VOS ANSI
C compiler, and if you also have TCP/IP and/or X.25 developer tools
(headers, libraries) that would be even better. The more binaries and
configurations the better. That way, VOS sites that don't have the
developer tools can still get an appropriate C-Kermit binary.
Thanks!
