- KERMIT VERSION 2.26 FOR Z-DOS
-
- September 20, 1984
-
- This guide is meant to be a supplement to the MSKERMIT.HLP file. It
- describes the differences between the Z-100 version of Kermit and
- the IBM-PC version. This version has not been tested with Z-DOS
- version 2.0. LOCAL command execution may or may not work.
-
- * Program Operation
-
- The Z-100 version of Kermit uses a slightly different concept for
- Heath emulation. The Z-100 normally uses the same escape sequences
- as the Heathkit H-19 terminal, although a slightly different key
- arrangement is used. With Heath emulation mode turned on, the normal
- Z-100/H19 escape sequences will be sent by the function keys and keypad.
- However, key redefinition will not be available. Printer control is
- also not available in Heath emulation mode. When Heath emulation
- is turned off (the default), the function keys and keypad emulate the
- Heath sequence as best as possible (no checks are made for alternate
- or shifted keypad modes), but key redefinition is allowed. If a problem
- is encountered running a program that uses the keypad keys or function
- keys, swicth to Heath emulation and see if that helps. Heath
- emulation only affects what characters are sent for keys typed at the
- keyboard. It does not change the affect of incoming characters or
- escape sequences.
-
- The Z-100 version of Kermit-MS does not support multiple communication
- ports. The modem is assumed to be connected to the AUX port. This
- port must be configured as no parity, no handshake, 1 stop bit, 8 data
- bits, no pad.
-
- * Terminal Emulation
-
- The Z-DOS version of Kermit-MS uses the following capabilities:
-
- Escape Char: ^]
- Modeline
- Printer control
- Key redefinition (with Heath emulation off)
-
- Screen scroll is not currently supported.
-
- . Printer Control
-
- The contents of a screen may be printed at any time if a printscreen
- driver has been installed prior to running Kermit. This is usually
- done by running the PSC command which comes with your ZDOS 1.25
- disks. After this, the screen contents may be printed using
- Shift-F12.
-
- If you wish to log a terminal session on the printer and you are not
- using Heath emulation mode, the F12 function key will start or stop
- the spooling of incoming characters to the printer. This may also
- be simulated by the Kermit-MS LOG PRN and CLOSE commands.
-
- . Key Redefinition
-
- Key redefinitions are accomplished in the same way as with the IBM-PC
- version. However, key redefintion may only be used when Heath
- emulation is turned off.
