- Subject: Announcing Sanyo Kermit 2.30
- Keywords: MS-Kermit 2.30, Sanyo MBC Kermit 2.30
-
- This is to announce the release of Kermit version 2.30 for the Sanyo 550 and
- 555. This version is derived from the IBM 2.30 release, and supports
- essentially all of the features of the IBM version which make sense for the
- Sanyo. Unlike previous releases, a single executable will run on machines
- with or without the optional CGA-like video board. (A video board is required
- for Tektronix emulation.)
-
- The files being sent to Columbia are:
- MSV55X.BOO - BOO-encoded .EXE file (decode with any MSBPCT program)
- MSG55X.ASM, MSU55X.ASM, MSX55X.ASM, MSY55X.ASM, MSZ55X.ASM - system
- dependent source files (also uses the generic MS-Kermit 2.30
- sources)
- MSV55X.HLP - Sanyo-specific addendum to the MS-Kermit 2.30 manual
-
- Present in the source code, but disabled by conditional assembly statements,
- is code to apply a temporary patch to the BIOS keyboard routines to enable
- more key combinations to be distinguished. This will only work if the
- keyboard interrupt is not being intercepted by a previously loaded program
- such as a print spooler or a TSR.
-
- Anyone interested in working on future releases should contact one of the
- current developers for copies of the update files and updating program which
- are used to create the Sanyo sources from the IBM originals.
-
- Developers for this release are
- Bob Babcock - peprbv@cfaamp.bitnet
- Joe White - jhw@rti.rti.org
-
- [Ed. - Thanks to Bob and Joe for all of this! The files have been placed
- in the Kermit distribution under the names listed above. Now we only have
- a few MS-DOS systems remaining whose Kermits haven't yet been upgraded to
- 2.30 level.]
