Subject: Announcing Sanyo Kermit 2.30
Keywords: MS-Kermit 2.30, Sanyo MBC Kermit 2.30
This is to announce the release of Kermit version 2.30 for the Sanyo 550 and
555. This version is derived from the IBM 2.30 release, and supports
essentially all of the features of the IBM version which make sense for the
Sanyo. Unlike previous releases, a single executable will run on machines
with or without the optional CGA-like video board. (A video board is required
for Tektronix emulation.)
The files being sent to Columbia are:
MSV55X.BOO - BOO-encoded .EXE file (decode with any MSBPCT program)
MSG55X.ASM, MSU55X.ASM, MSX55X.ASM, MSY55X.ASM, MSZ55X.ASM - system
dependent source files (also uses the generic MS-Kermit 2.30
sources)
MSV55X.HLP - Sanyo-specific addendum to the MS-Kermit 2.30 manual
Present in the source code, but disabled by conditional assembly statements,
is code to apply a temporary patch to the BIOS keyboard routines to enable
more key combinations to be distinguished. This will only work if the
keyboard interrupt is not being intercepted by a previously loaded program
such as a print spooler or a TSR.
Anyone interested in working on future releases should contact one of the
current developers for copies of the update files and updating program which
are used to create the Sanyo sources from the IBM originals.
Developers for this release are
Bob Babcock - peprbv@cfaamp.bitnet
Joe White - jhw@rti.rti.org
[Ed. - Thanks to Bob and Joe for all of this! The files have been placed
in the Kermit distribution under the names listed above. Now we only have
a few MS-DOS systems remaining whose Kermits haven't yet been upgraded to
2.30 level.]
