Kermit-32 v3.2.077 Release Notes Page 1
The following are the various changes that have gone into Kermit-32 version
3.2.077. This version is a maintenance version only and does not contain
any major development work.
VMS 3.x USERS
Because of the development work going into Kermit-32, it
can no longer be supported on VMS 3.x systems. This
version does not run under VMS 3.7 or earlier.
o Combined several System Service calls into a single service call
that is now available in VMS 4.x. [Module: VMSTRM]
o CRCs without 8-bit quoting didn't work. Applied patch sent by
John Owens (JSO@EDISON.BERKELEY.EDU). [Module: VMSMSG]
o Fix again maximum message length processing. Patch from Jim
Noble, Planning Research Corporation. [Module: VMSCOM, VMSMIT]
o Fix various problems in the help file. Patch from Jim Noble,
Planning Research Corporation.
o Fix problems with restoring of the terminal's <CR> and <LF> fill
counts. Patch from Jim Noble, Planning Research Corporation.
[Module: VMSTRM]
o Fixed a problem reading files with FORTRAN carriage control.
[Module VMSFIL]
o Changed the functionality of the FINISH command. It will now
return to the prompt level, and not exit to DCL.
The following are know problems with Kermit-32 3.2.077.
o Commands are upcased so that LIB$TPARSE will scan the command
correctly. This causes problems when attempting to set the prompt
and sending server commands to a UNIX based Kermit.
o Kermit-32 will quote multiple characters with "~" in a file name
even if the REPEAT_QUOTE character is set to space.
o When receiving a file of type FIXED, if the final record is not
exactly 512 bytes, then an error occurs and the receiving Kermit
blows up.
o Kermit-32 can hang on a virtual terminal due to XON-XOFF
processing between the VAX and a remote system.
