- Greetings CP/M folks. Having bashed my head against this for a while with
- zero success, I now turn to you net.experts for advice.
-
- I'm trying to bootstrap Kermit-80 4.11 (I think - it's the current stuff
- from Columbia, at any rate) on a Kaypro II running CP/M 2.2 .
-
- I've no file-transfer software for this beast at all, just a wretched
- terminal program called TERM that sort of emulates an ADM 3A. Following the
- instructions in cpskerm.doc, I carefully typed into DDT the capture program
- from the kermit distribution(cpkfet.ddt), saved it, logged into the Unix host
- with the hex files, changing the prompt to '@' as expected by the program, and
- entered 'cat cpskerm.hex' minus the CR. I then exited TERM program and ran
- the capture program, but (surprise) nothing happened, nothing at all. No modem
- activity whatsoever, which would seem to indicate that perhaps the program
- isn't talking to the right device? But that's just a wild guess, since I'm
- almost completely CP/M clueless. I believe IOBYTE is ok; at least I didn't
- consciously do anything to modify it.
-
- Alternatively, I could just type in all the .ASM sources and assemble it
- myself, but ASM is the only assembler I've got, and apparently it won't cut
- it for building Kermit. No .ASM source for LASM is provided with the
- Kermit stuff, only a .HEX, and I can't imagine trying to type that in.
-
- So, I'm open to any and all suggestions(aside from converting the machine
- into a doorstop, that is). E-mail would probably be best, but posted replies
- are fine. Thanks much in advance!
