VMS 7.1 on alpha
C-Kermit 8.0.209, 17 Mar 2003, for OpenVMS Alpha
I was surprised to see that if the kermit command line has both
-y filename
and
-l device name
that the -l option is ignored altogether.
Using this script file (test.scr):
show comm
echo \&@[0]
echo \&@[1]
echo \&@[2]
echo \&@[3]
echo \&@[4]
echo \&@[5]
echo \&@[6]
echo \&@[7]
exit
and this command line:
$ kermit -y test.scr -l lta15:
I see this:
Communications Parameters:
Line: SYS$INPUT:, speed: 9600, mode: remote, modem: generic
Parity: none, duplex: full, flow: xon/xoff, handshake: none
Carrier-watch: auto, close-on-disconnect: off
Typical port device name: TXA0:, TTA0:, or LTA0:
Modem signals unavailable
Type SHOW DIAL to see DIAL-related items.
Type SHOW MODEM to see modem-related items.
omega$dkb100:[cluster.][kermit]ckv209-axp-vms71-ucx41.exe;1
-y
test.scr
-l
lta15:
Note that the comm line did *not* get set to LTA15: even though the -l
command requested that.
CKV206-AXP-VMS71-NONET behaves similarly.
Obviously I can work around this in the script file, but I did not
expect this behaviour. Should I have? I could not find this
behaviour mentioned in _Using C-Kermit_ (only the first edition, time
to spend some more money I guess), nor in the online help, nor on the
website.
Thanks for the advice.
