- A minor release of Kermit-11 is available. This version, 3.51, differs
- only in a number of RT11/TSX+ specific modifications from the previously
- announced Kermit-11.
-
- Specifically:
-
- 1. Reduction in the size of the root for XM to facilitate running
- Kermit as a foreground task.
-
- 2. Complete rewrite of terminal emulation, specifically to enhance the
- support of the XL/XC/CL handlers. It is now completely event driven
- thus performance should be improved as well as presenting a much lower
- load on the CPU. It should also function better under SJ.
-
- 3. Restructuring buffer allocation to (1) Reduce the root size for XM,
- and (2) To enable the USR to swap over buffers for SJ and FB. This will
- eliminate Kermit crashing on USR requests in 95% of the cases for SJ
- and FB systems with minimal background memory available (ie, many
- devices in the system and/or large RMON).
-
- 4. Control C delivery has been improved by adding a watchdog timer to
- check for control C's as RT11 does not generate an AST on control C.
-
- The files are currently available via KERMSRV@UOFT02.BITNET or by
- dialup from the University of Toledo's VAX 11/785. Columbia will
- receive a new distribution shortly.
