Date: Sun, 1988 May 15 14:10 EDT From: Bob Babcock To: Frank da Cruz , Joe R. Doupnik , Joe White Subject: Announcing Sanyo Kermit 2.30 Keywords: MS-Kermit 2.30, Sanyo MBC Kermit 2.30 This is to announce the release of Kermit version 2.30 for the Sanyo 550 and 555. This version is derived from the IBM 2.30 release, and supports essentially all of the features of the IBM version which make sense for the Sanyo. Unlike previous releases, a single executable will run on machines with or without the optional CGA-like video board. (A video board is required for Tektronix emulation.) The files being sent to Columbia are: MSV55X.BOO - BOO-encoded .EXE file (decode with any MSBPCT program) MSG55X.ASM, MSU55X.ASM, MSX55X.ASM, MSY55X.ASM, MSZ55X.ASM - system dependent source files (also uses the generic MS-Kermit 2.30 sources) MSV55X.HLP - Sanyo-specific addendum to the MS-Kermit 2.30 manual Present in the source code, but disabled by conditional assembly statements, is code to apply a temporary patch to the BIOS keyboard routines to enable more key combinations to be distinguished. This will only work if the keyboard interrupt is not being intercepted by a previously loaded program such as a print spooler or a TSR. Anyone interested in working on future releases should contact one of the current developers for copies of the update files and updating program which are used to create the Sanyo sources from the IBM originals. Developers for this release are Bob Babcock - peprbv@cfaamp.bitnet Joe White - jhw@rti.rti.org [Ed. - Thanks to Bob and Joe for all of this! The files have been placed in the Kermit distribution under the names listed above. Now we only have a few MS-DOS systems remaining whose Kermits haven't yet been upgraded to 2.30 level.]
