A minor release of Kermit-11 is available. This version, 3.51, differs
only in a number of RT11/TSX+ specific modifications from the previously
announced Kermit-11.
Specifically:
1. Reduction in the size of the root for XM to facilitate running
Kermit as a foreground task.
2. Complete rewrite of terminal emulation, specifically to enhance the
support of the XL/XC/CL handlers. It is now completely event driven
thus performance should be improved as well as presenting a much lower
load on the CPU. It should also function better under SJ.
3. Restructuring buffer allocation to (1) Reduce the root size for XM,
and (2) To enable the USR to swap over buffers for SJ and FB. This will
eliminate Kermit crashing on USR requests in 95% of the cases for SJ
and FB systems with minimal background memory available (ie, many
devices in the system and/or large RMON).
4. Control C delivery has been improved by adding a watchdog timer to
check for control C's as RT11 does not generate an AST on control C.
The files are currently available via KERMSRV@UOFT02.BITNET or by
dialup from the University of Toledo's VAX 11/785. Columbia will
receive a new distribution shortly.
