Subject: Kermit for MVS/TSO
I have completed a version of Kermit for MVS/TSO. I have been able to
test it out in our environment, but I have not tested it on a raw TCAM.
In our environment we are using a mod to the 3705 to make everything look
like a 2741. This means that everything is translated from ASCII to 2741
code to EBCDIC before it reaches KERMIT. It also supplies XON codes when
the host has put up a read. It is my belief that normal TCAM will handle
ASCII to EBCDIC translation just fine, and I believe that TCAM will also
supply XON codes when it has a read up. However, I have been unable to
gen a TCAM here with raw Teletype 33-35 support to test it out.
If you wish I will sendfile you the the following pieces.

I would like to put in a word for adding support to all of the micro
KERMITs for the SET START-OF-HEADER command. In our MVS/TSO environment
the host cannot receive a CNTRL-A. We have therefore added the SET
START-OF-HEADER command to the IBM-PC version and to the APPLE II version.

The forthcoming release of MS-DOS Kermit will have commands to changes
the packet-start character.]

Announcing Kermit for MVS/TSO on IBM 370-series and compatible mainframes
from Ron Rusnak of the University of Chicago Computation Center
(SYSRONR@UCHIVM1.BITNET or SYSTEMS.RON@UCHICAGO.MAILNET). This is an
adaptation of Columbia's VM/CMS implementation, and it has about the same
characteristics -- a no-frills Kermit, no server operation, no binary
file transfers, and so forth. The source and documentation files are in
KER:TSO*.* (4 files). The CMS and TSO versions of Kermit will be
upgraded to a more advanced level in the future.

Subject: Re: Problem with TSO Kermit
I'm the guy unfortunately. The problem that this guy is having is probably
related to either his terminal handler (TCAM or VTAM or whatever), or the
translate tables. As far as, I know the only complaints I have heard come from
folks who have ASCII translate tables. It is neccessary that TPUT control send
all ASCII characters.
Given what this person said, I would suspect something wierd with whatever
acess method they're using.

Subject: Converting New VM/CMS Kermit to MVS/TSO?
To: Ron Rusnak <SYSRONR@UCHIVM1.BITNET>
Hi Ron -- Do you think anybody at U of Chicago will be working on TSO Kermit
any time soon? Ideally, I think it would be good if the new CMS release
(2.00, which has server mode, binary file transfer, CRC's, etc) could have
TSO support added to it in such a way that either TSO or CMS Kermit could be
built from it. I don't know much about IBM assembler, but I would hope that
this would be possible using macros or conditional assembly for the system-
dependent parts. This would simplify life a lot for both of us, not to mention
the hundreds of sites that are running TSO &/or CMS Kermit, allowing each
to benefit immediately from improvements in the system-independent areas.
What do you think? - Frank
[Ed. - I never got a reply to this, but maybe someone else who might be
interested in TSO Kermit -- U. of Toronto, maybe? -- would be willing to take
on the task.]
