We've been using C-Kermit 5A(190) for years on an AIX 3.2.51 host for
remote terminal access. All this time it's worked just fine dialing
and connecting. Recently I thought I'd do some scripting and found
that my scripts always failed with the error "Command file terminated
by error." After some experimenting, I discovered that it was being
caused by any use of the "input" or "reinput" statements with the text
parameter. If I leave off the text parameter and include only the
timeout parameter (which doesn't search for much), it works fine, but
if I include the text parameter I get the error. At first, I thought
maybe this build of 5A was just broken and had gone unnoticed all this
time, so I downloaded version 8.0.209 and built it without errors and
after testing discovered it fails the SAME WAY when using "input" or
"reinput". I'm only trying to do a simple automated login script like
dial \m(number)
if fail ...etc.
output \13
input 5 login:
if success...etc.
If I'm overlooking something dumb, I wish somebody would be kind
enough to point it out to me. This is making me crazy...
