- Subject: PERKIN-ELMER 7000 Series Kermit
-
- I've gotten a Kermit for the Perkin-Elmer 7000 Series computers which are
- IDRIS based. It's loosely based on the old C-Kermit from the old Protocol
- manual. It has Binary file (8-bit and &-quoting), Repeat quoting and server
- mode (GET,SEND,and FINISH). It currently has just one bug I can find which
- I'm fixing (it repeat quotes 'F' packets in remote GET and local SEND
- requests). It has no connect mode, as the 7000 series comes with the cu(1)
- command which does the same thing.
-
- The distribution file names have the prefix PE7:
-
- PE7AAA.HLP The readme for the whole thing
- PE7BCT.BAS PE7000 Series version of MSBPCT.BAS
- (.BOO decoder in Basic)
- PE7BCT.C PE7000 Series version of MSBPCT.BAS
- (.BOO decoder in Whitesmith's 'C')
- PE7MIT.BOO An encoded version of the binary
- which is built with MS-DOS Kermit's
- procedure to make '.BOO' files.
- PE7MIT.EXE A Binary version of the PE7 Kermit executable
- PE7MIT.DOC Manual pages and bootstrap procedures
- PE7MIT.C IDRIS Kermit
- PE7MIT.H IDRIS Kermit header file
- PE7PHO.C Dialer program to work with Kermit/cu(1)
- PE7PHO.H Dialer program header file
-
- I didn't create this version (Dan Eisner of Perkin-Elmer did), but I did
- create a bootstrap document. I translated the bootstrap programs so that I'm
- using an existing format for encoding the binary files. For its size it's
- one of the most solid Kermit's I've seen so far.
