- REVISION HISTORY for MSXTIPRO.ASM
-
- REVLVL=1 29-Oct-84 First version to be able to transfer files
- REVLVL=2 14-Nov-84 Fixed bugs in version 1
- REVLVL=3 27-Nov-84 Added Tektronix-4010 emulation in CONNECT mode,
- now works with TI internal modem, any port.
- REVLVL=4 Started interrupt code. Renamed MSXTEK to MSYTIPRO.ASM
- REVLVL=5 25-Jun-85 Finished H19 emulation, now works at 9600 baud.
-
- -- CHANGES --
-
- MSXTIPRO has been tested with the Sync/Async Comm Card at all speeds from
- 110 to 9600 baud. Works with COMM card in any port, 1 thru 4.
-
- This version of KERMIT will work with a TI internal modem.
-
- To use the internal modem, SET PORT 3, SET BAUD 300, CONNECT.
- With external phone, type "O" to go into manual original mode.
- Or type "T1(617)467-7437X" to use the built-in dialer. Capital T
- means to use touch-tones, capital X marks the end of the number.
-
- Can transfer file-packets at 9600 baud (but not 19.2 kbaud).
-
- The VT52 "identify yourself" sequence of ESC,'Z' is not working right.
- It should respond as an H-19 or VT52 terminal.
-
- -- BUGS --
-
- No known bugs in the MSXTIPRO portion of KERMIT.
- MSYTIPRO clears the screen when the KERMIT escape character is typed, and does
- not repaint the screen when CONNECT is resumed.
-
- -- DEFICIENCIES --
-
- The STATUS command is wrong if you select port 2, 3, or 4.
- *** According to the MSXSYS.DOC, flags.comflg is supposed to be 0
- *** when using port 2. This makes it difficult to use ports 3 and 4.
-
- The SET HEATH-19 ON/OFF command needs to be replaced by a new command,
- SET TERMINAL-EMULATION ON/OFF/HEATH-19/VT52/VT100/VT102/ADM3A/TVI910/etc.
-
- ANSI.SYS is a part of the TI-BIOS, but it does not fully emulate a VT100.
-
- The commands to the TI internal modem are not the same as Hayes Smartmodem.
-
- -- SUGGESTIONS --
- [Send suggestions via U.S. mail to Dan Smith, CSM Computing Center,
- 1500 Illinois Street, Golden, CO 80401 (303)273-3396]
-
- Finish implementing a generalized ESCape sequence processor that can handle
- both HEATH19/VT52 and ANSI/VT100 sequences. It should be general enough to
- run on any 8088/8086 CPU regardless of hardware or operating system.
-
- Add ReGIS(GIGI/VT125/VT241) emulation in addition to Tektronix 4105 emulation.
- It should be written so that it can be used on the TI-PRO, IBM-PC, Rainbow-100.
-
- Add routine to translate Hayes "AT" commands to TI internal modem commands.

-
- Well,
- The long standing terminal emulation bugs in kermit for the
- Texas Instruments Professional computer are still with us in the
- latest release. To be a little more specific:
- The Heath-19 emulation gives you 25 five lines on the screen in-
- stead of 24,reverse video does not work at all, and local echo
- does nothing.
- As far as I can tell, the protocol parts of ti-kermit run fine. It
- would be nice if someday I could use my ti as a terminal instead of
- just a file xfer box.

- Apparently-To: INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
-
- Greetings,
-
- After a bit of use, I have found the following three bugs in
- what I beleive is the current version of MS-DOS kermit for the
- Texas Instruments Professional Computer.
- 1. Local Echo does not work.
- 2. In Heath-19 mode, Inverse Video does not work
- 3. In Heath-19 mode, margin wrap does not work.
-
- I have no bugs in the protocol, but the bugs in its terminal
- handling severely restrict its usefullness to me. Could this information
- be passed on to whoever is maintaining TI-Pro Kermit?
-
- All the above is true for TI-Pro Kermit V2.29 Revision 6, 6 May 86. If there
- is a newer version that has fixed these bugs, could someone clue me in on it?
