- The files called FLXPTn.TXT (n=1..6) make up the Flex 9 source for
- a limited form of Kermit. This particular Kermit was a result of work
- by a former member of staff at Brighton Polytechnic. It is in use on
- SWTP hardware, and has the following menu:
-
- 0 Terminal to line
- 1 Return to Flex
- 2 File send from Flex
- 3 File receive to Flex
- 4 Close server
- 5 Monitor on
- 6 Monitor off
-
- As you can see, not quite like the other versions!
- There is no numeric display to show how the transfer is progressing:
- "s" is displayed for each Flex-sent packet, and "r" for received
- packets. If the "monitor on" command has been used, the packets
- will be displayed on the console device.
-
- Terminal to line uses CTRL-D to return to command menu. Other
- options should be self-explanatory.
-
- One bug: the FCBs don't seem to be properly freed... once a transfer
- has completed, the next transfer will always fail with "File already
- in use" and that is repeated whatever the files actually used (ie it
- happens when a different file is named, not just the same file name).
-
- I split the source up into a few files, in case you have problems
- with your editor. Briefly, they are ...
-
- FLXPT1.TXT description, some definitions
- FLXPT2 some of the routines for queue handling
- 3 more routines, and Kermit messages
- 4 receive section
- 5 send section
- 6 more routines, work on packets
-
- In the source, you will find STTL assembler directives to give the
- listing sub-titles. A list (to help if you want to edit source)
- of where the STTL references occur is in FLXSTTL.TXT.
