As with any other bug report the proper place to report it is to
kermit-support@columbia.edu so that it can be responded to directly.
For an emulation bug report a SESSION LOG should be included that
demonstrates the problem.
: 1) Forward Delete (\127) and backward delete (\8) don't work properly -
: this was solved by switching to VT102 emulation
The proper assignment of the DEL or BS to keys is very dependent upon
the termcap or terminfo destriptions (or equivalent) on the host
system. These key settings are completely configurable using the SET
KEY and SET TERM KEY commands.
If you believe that there is a problem with the handling of DEL and BS
in the emulator, please send a SESSION LOG that demonstrates the
problem. VT320 and VT102 use exactly the same code for this
operation, so it is more likely a configuration issue on the host.
: 2) No bell sounds (VT102)
Kermit-95 rings BEL by calling the Windows 95 SystemBeep() call. Many
sound board drivers map this call to a System Sound which may be set
in the control panel. Be sure you have properly configured your
sounds and sound board.
: 3) Also you can't paste into K95 session - it either does nothing or says
: insufficient memory available please try closing program etc. (I use 32MB
: RAM and only K95 and Word97)
This is a known bug in Windows 95. You must turn off "Fast Pasting"
in order for Pasting to work in any 32-bit Console application. Open
the Properties for \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CONAGENT.EXE and turn off "Fast
Pasting".
