Kenneth Cochran got C-Kermit 6.0 and 7.0 built on Sunsoft Interactive UNIX
System V/386 R3.2 V1.1.1, both with and without TCP/IP. Also a copy of
G-Kermit. None of the other likely candidates (old SCO binaries, COHERENT,
etc) worked.
The 6.0 version worked out of the box on Alan's PC. The 7.0 version bombed
upon SET LINE with an illegal system call, which turned out to be dup2().
So then we made another set of 7.0 binaries that don't contain any calls to
dup2() (but we haven't heard back about them yet).
The new binaries are in ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/bin/:
cku192.is5r3jc C-Kermit 6.0.192 (no TCP/IP)
cku192.is5r3netjc C-Kermit 6.0.192 (with TCP/IP)
cku197.is5r3jc C-Kermit 7.0.197 (no TCP/IP)
cku197.is5r3netjc C-Kermit 7.0.197 (with TCP/IP)
cku197.sys5r3is C-Kermit 7.0.197 (no TCP/IP, no dup2)
cku197.sys5r3isnet C-Kermit 7.0.197 (with TCP/IP, no dup2)
gku100.i386-is5r3-4.1.1 G-Kermit 1.00
They arrived just in time for the C-Kermit 7.0 CDROM, which, barring any
further unforeseen detours, should go to press today. Another last-minute
arrival was Unixware 1.1.
The most significant omission is for AIX with AIXLink X.25 -- the code
is written and tested, but nobody was able to make a binary.
Perhaps less significant but just as disappointing is a missing 4.3BSD RT PC
binary, which was made but the machine died before it could be uploaded.
In the end, we'll have nearly 500 C-Kermit and G-Kermit binaries on the
CDROM, probably the widest variety of platforms covered by any software
package, ever, thanks to the many people who contributed to the project.
