>From Joe Doupnik: another Alpha test of the next MS-DOS Kermit version,
3.16. Alpha 5 adds:
1. Accept TCP RST (reset) segment if ACK field is invalid.
2. Don't count the trailing Carriage Return on commands sent to COMMAND.COM.
Helps the current version of 4DOS.
3. Remove a redundant conversion of \digits within lines passed to a WRITE
command.
4. Add new command WRITELN which works the same as WRITE except it adds
CR and LF to the end of the text. WRITELN is also available in C-Kermit,
Kermit 95, etc, so can (and should) be used in scripts that are to be
portable among platforms that have different text-line formats (such as
DOS and UNIX).
It's in ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/bin/msk316.zip. The ZIP file
contains MSK316.EXE (the executable program) and MSK316.DOC (summary of
changes since 3.14).
As with previous Alphas, you can put this right in your MS-DOS Kermit
directory, unzip it, and test it without disturbing your production version
of MS-DOS Kermit. Send reports to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
