- Re: Kermit for MTS systems.
-
- Last week, I successfully obtained a copy of the Assembler version
- Kermit for MTS systems from the file [.MTS]MTSKERMIT.ASM
-
- It worked first time, with a few little problems:
-
- 1. Although 8-bit prefixing was used when transferring data to my
- receiving (BBC) Kermit, it was not used when transferring to the
- MTS Kermit.
-
- 2. When sending a file to the MTS Kermit, all went well providing
- the destination file already existed. If it did not, the
- transfer hung, as MTS kept asking for a replacement file name.
-
- After searching through the code, I have come up with these two minor
- corrections:
-
- 1. Although the availability of 8-bit prefixing is negotiated when
- starting a file transfer to MTS, the MTS Kermit tells the other
- Kermit that it can't do it. This is corrected very easily by:
-
- Line 938: Change "ASCN" to "ASCY"
-
- 2. The "file information block" returned from GDINFO was incorrectly
- being tested for a failure code of Hex FF. This should instead
- be Hex 08:
-
- Line 1029: Change "X'FF'" to "X'08'"
-
- I hope this is of some use to someone.
