Subject: A New Release of Kermit for CTOS and BTOS
Keywords: CTOS, BTOS, Convergent, Burroughs B20
From Evan Arnerich and Doug Drury of ITT Federal Services Corporation, Santa
Maria, CA: version 2.00 of CT-Kermit for the Burroughs B20/BTOS and Convergent
NGEN/CTOS systems. This new version adds many of the capabilities of MS-DOS
Kermit 3.x and C-Kermit 5A, particularly script programming features (INPUT,
OUTPUT, IF, ASK, GOTO, variables, etc), and includes a built-in VT101 terminal
emulator.
Version 2.00 of CT-Kermit replaces version 1.07 of July 1988, which was
contributed by Joel Dunn of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The new files replace the old ones in kermit/c/ct*.* on
watsun.cc.columbia.edu. The old version has been moved to kermit/old on
watsun. The new version is also available from KERMSRV at CUVMA as CT* *.
Many thanks to Evan and Doug for their contribution!

Last fall I sent you a copy of Kermit that I had ported to CTOS on Convergent
NGEN systems and BTOS on the Burroughs B20. I just dropped another version
in the mail that adds a few features and fixes a few bugs. This version I
call CTOS-Kermit 1.07, and the most significant feature is probably its VT100
emulation in terminal mode. It isn't a perfect VT100, but it works for most
things without blowing up. I have had this version in distribution since
January, and have have heard positive feedback, and I have not heard from
anyone that was having problems.

[Ed. - Thanks, Joel! The new version has replaced the old one as KER:CT*.*
in the Kermit Distribution. The files and naming conventions are listed in
KER:CTAAAA.DOC. The program is based on an old release of C-Kermit, but Joel
says that when he gets C-Kermit 4E(070) he will try to add the CTOS/BTOS
support to it, so it will be yet another of the regular C-Kermits.]

Subject: C-Kermit for CTOS
Over the last year, I have been gradually porting C-Kermit 4.2(030) march 85
to CTOS, a multi-tasking proprietary operating system that runs on Convergent
Technologies NGEN micro computers. I re-wrote the comm line I/O, disk I/O,
and video I/O, and added a rudimentary VT100 emulation option. The protocol
code is pretty much as I got it, as is the command parser and things like that.
I use it fairly regularly, both as a terminal emulator and for text and binary
file transfers to my local Unix machine running C-Kermit.
My port is not perfect, but I would like to offer it up to the "Kermit Gods"
if you are at all interested. I know it is based on "old" source, but that
is what I was able to easily get at the time I started this project, back in
the summer of '86. I only worked on it as time permitted, so that's why it
took me a year to get it where I thought it worked.
Let me know if you want me to send it to you.
