REVISION HISTORY for MSXTIPRO.ASM
REVLVL=1 29-Oct-84 First version to be able to transfer files
REVLVL=2 14-Nov-84 Fixed bugs in version 1
REVLVL=3 27-Nov-84 Added Tektronix-4010 emulation in CONNECT mode,
now works with TI internal modem, any port.
REVLVL=4 Started interrupt code. Renamed MSXTEK to MSYTIPRO.ASM
REVLVL=5 25-Jun-85 Finished H19 emulation, now works at 9600 baud.
-- CHANGES --
MSXTIPRO has been tested with the Sync/Async Comm Card at all speeds from
110 to 9600 baud. Works with COMM card in any port, 1 thru 4.
This version of KERMIT will work with a TI internal modem.
To use the internal modem, SET PORT 3, SET BAUD 300, CONNECT.
With external phone, type "O" to go into manual original mode.
Or type "T1(617)467-7437X" to use the built-in dialer. Capital T
means to use touch-tones, capital X marks the end of the number.
Can transfer file-packets at 9600 baud (but not 19.2 kbaud).
The VT52 "identify yourself" sequence of ESC,'Z' is not working right.
It should respond as an H-19 or VT52 terminal.
-- BUGS --
No known bugs in the MSXTIPRO portion of KERMIT.
MSYTIPRO clears the screen when the KERMIT escape character is typed, and does
not repaint the screen when CONNECT is resumed.
-- DEFICIENCIES --
The STATUS command is wrong if you select port 2, 3, or 4.
*** According to the MSXSYS.DOC, flags.comflg is supposed to be 0
*** when using port 2. This makes it difficult to use ports 3 and 4.
The SET HEATH-19 ON/OFF command needs to be replaced by a new command,
SET TERMINAL-EMULATION ON/OFF/HEATH-19/VT52/VT100/VT102/ADM3A/TVI910/etc.
ANSI.SYS is a part of the TI-BIOS, but it does not fully emulate a VT100.
The commands to the TI internal modem are not the same as Hayes Smartmodem.
-- SUGGESTIONS --
[Send suggestions via U.S. mail to Dan Smith, CSM Computing Center,
1500 Illinois Street, Golden, CO 80401 (303)273-3396]
Finish implementing a generalized ESCape sequence processor that can handle
both HEATH19/VT52 and ANSI/VT100 sequences. It should be general enough to
run on any 8088/8086 CPU regardless of hardware or operating system.
Add ReGIS(GIGI/VT125/VT241) emulation in addition to Tektronix 4105 emulation.
It should be written so that it can be used on the TI-PRO, IBM-PC, Rainbow-100.
Add routine to translate Hayes "AT" commands to TI internal modem commands.

Well,
The long standing terminal emulation bugs in kermit for the
Texas Instruments Professional computer are still with us in the
latest release. To be a little more specific:
The Heath-19 emulation gives you 25 five lines on the screen in-
stead of 24,reverse video does not work at all, and local echo
does nothing.
As far as I can tell, the protocol parts of ti-kermit run fine. It
would be nice if someday I could use my ti as a terminal instead of
just a file xfer box.

Subject: TI Pro bug?
Keith Pyle, pyle@ngp.UTEXAS.EDU, complains that local echo does not work in
MS-Kermit 2.29 on the TI Pro, even though it did work in 2.27 and 2.28.

Apparently-To: INFO-KERMIT@CU20B
Greetings,
After a bit of use, I have found the following three bugs in
what I beleive is the current version of MS-DOS kermit for the
Texas Instruments Professional Computer.
1. Local Echo does not work.
2. In Heath-19 mode, Inverse Video does not work
3. In Heath-19 mode, margin wrap does not work.
I have no bugs in the protocol, but the bugs in its terminal
handling severely restrict its usefullness to me. Could this information
be passed on to whoever is maintaining TI-Pro Kermit?
All the above is true for TI-Pro Kermit V2.29 Revision 6, 6 May 86. If there
is a newer version that has fixed these bugs, could someone clue me in on it?
