I am using MSKERMIT 3.14 on an IBM-Clone to give me a console on a Unix
mainframe. The theory is that if the mainframe dies, pre-death messages
will still be stored in the PC's session log.
So what I need is a way to make the session log wrap around (or swap logfiles)
when it reaches (say) 5000 lines. Does anyone have a way of doing this on
the fly?
I am aware that some of what I need is covered through screen rollback - but
the PC is a VERY ancient 286 (!) with limited memory - and if I retain more
than about 16 pages, I don't have enough memory to do 'run' commands from
within kermit (actually kermite). Besides, if the power dies, rollback gets
lost.
Any suggestions welcome! Thanks ..
