The problem is that the TAPMSG macro is slightly too long for the default
C-Kermit command buffer length (1K). The solution is to rebuild C-Kermit to
use bigger buffers; cd to your C-Kermit source directory and:
make clean
make rs6aix41c KFLAGS=-DBIGBUFOK # (or "make rs6aix32c", "make linux", etc)
Then everything will work. You'll also be able to have bigger packet and
window sizes, etc. (BIGBUFOK will be defined by default for AIX on RS/6000
and PowerPC in the next C-Kermit release.)
Meanwhile, I have recoded TAPMSG to be less than 1K in length so it should
work with any C-Kermit 6.0 build that does not exclude the script programming
language:

Please test the new compact version to make sure it is OK. Send any further
problem reports to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
