Subject: The C-Kermit 7.0 CDROM is Ready
Date: 15 Apr 2000 16:49:38 GMT
Organization: Columbia University
Message-ID: <8da6j2$k1a$1@newsmaster.cc.columbia.edu>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
The C-Kermit 7.0 CDROMs are back from the factory:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70cd.jpg
554 Megabytes of fun! It contains everything from the C-Kermit and
G-Kermit areas of our FTP site: sources, makefiles, binaries, tar and
ZIP archives, install packages, text files, the C-Kermit 7.0 Updates
HTML file.
For maximum convenience, text files are replicated in three directory
trees: DOS format (CRLF), UNIX format (LF), and Macintosh format (CR).
Also included are about 400 prebuilt binaries for all the platforms
where C-Kermit runs (UNIX, VMS, VOS, AOS/VS, Plan 9, Amiga, ...) and
another hundred for G-Kermit. C-Kermit 6.0 (or earlier) binaries are
included for platforms for which we don't have C-Kermit 7.0 binaries,
such as Apollo Aegis, Tandy 6000, 2.11 BSD, etc. In other words,
binaries are included for every platform that we have binaries for:
all the ones you see in:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html#binlist
and:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/gkermit.html#binlist
except that some of the duplicates have been omitted (e.g. CC and GCC
builds for exactly the same platform), due to lack of space.
I don't know for sure, but this might be largest collection of
platform-specific binaries for a single program, ever. Not only does
it cover all the latest hardware and operating systems, but also lots
of older ones, all the way back to the 70s and 80s (and yes, a
surprising number of them are still in operation).
The C-Kermit 7.0 CDROM is in strict ISO 9660 format, no extensions, and
should be readable on any computer that can read CDROMS. To order it,
use the order form in the back of your Using C-Kermit (2nd Edition)
book, or the order form here:
