- Subject: KERMIT 2.29 (2.28 jrd/5g) for Victor
- To: fdccu@cuvma
-
-
- Following are 5 files for Kermit for the Victor 9000/Sirius:
-
- MSXV90.ASM - System dependent I/O file
- MSYV90.ASM - Terminal emulation (Heath and VT100)
- MSYV9T.ASM - Terminal emulation (Heath, VT100, and Tektronix)
- MSKV90.BOO - Boot file from MSYV90 (Heath and VT100 emulation)
- MSKV9T.BOO - Boot file from MSYV9T (Heath, VT100, and Tektronix emulation)
-
- Some differences from the 2.28 files:
-
- The emulation is set by SET TERMINAL xxxxx, where xxxxx is either HEATH
- or VT100 (or TEKTRONIX for MSKV9T).
-
- The screen region for the Tektronix terminal is now above the program and
- data areas. When Kermit is started up, the screen memory is obtained from
- DOS and checked to be sure that it is in a valid area. If the allocation
- process fails to obtain a valid screen area, a warning message is issued
- regarding Tektronix emulation, and that option is disabled.
-
- Even though the STATUS command will show TERMINAL EMULATION as NONE when
- doing Tektronix emulation, the correct way to select Tektronix emulation
- is SET TERMINAL TEKTRONIX.
-
- VT100 emulation code was obtained from Andreas Stumpf in Germany
- (DS0RUS1I::ZRZS) and integrated with the previous files. The emulation is
- not complete, but it does work with the VAX EDT editor in screen mode and
- with software using either FMS-generated forms or the new SMG screen
- management subroutines on the VAX systems. Further testing has not been
- reported - that is all I personally have access to.
-
- The routines to get and set the terminal baud rate have been cleaned up
- some and modified to use the MSDOS IOCTL function top directly access the
- serial port driver. Thus, the default baud rate is the one that was specified
- the last time the serial port driver was set up (usually at system boot time).
- Note that the code in this section expects the devices to be named SERIALA
- and SERIALB, as they are supplied from VICTOR.
-
- These files should not be considered complete - they are still being tested
- and are provided for others who may want to test them.
