KERMIT VERSION 2.26 FOR Z-DOS September 20, 1984 This guide is meant to be a supplement to the MSKERMIT.HLP file. It describes the differences between the Z-100 version of Kermit and the IBM-PC version. This version has not been tested with Z-DOS version 2.0. LOCAL command execution may or may not work. * Program Operation The Z-100 version of Kermit uses a slightly different concept for Heath emulation. The Z-100 normally uses the same escape sequences as the Heathkit H-19 terminal, although a slightly different key arrangement is used. With Heath emulation mode turned on, the normal Z-100/H19 escape sequences will be sent by the function keys and keypad. However, key redefinition will not be available. Printer control is also not available in Heath emulation mode. When Heath emulation is turned off (the default), the function keys and keypad emulate the Heath sequence as best as possible (no checks are made for alternate or shifted keypad modes), but key redefinition is allowed. If a problem is encountered running a program that uses the keypad keys or function keys, swicth to Heath emulation and see if that helps. Heath emulation only affects what characters are sent for keys typed at the keyboard. It does not change the affect of incoming characters or escape sequences. The Z-100 version of Kermit-MS does not support multiple communication ports. The modem is assumed to be connected to the AUX port. This port must be configured as no parity, no handshake, 1 stop bit, 8 data bits, no pad. * Terminal Emulation The Z-DOS version of Kermit-MS uses the following capabilities: Escape Char: ^] Modeline Printer control Key redefinition (with Heath emulation off) Screen scroll is not currently supported. . Printer Control The contents of a screen may be printed at any time if a printscreen driver has been installed prior to running Kermit. This is usually done by running the PSC command which comes with your ZDOS 1.25 disks. After this, the screen contents may be printed using Shift-F12. If you wish to log a terminal session on the printer and you are not using Heath emulation mode, the F12 function key will start or stop the spooling of incoming characters to the printer. This may also be simulated by the Kermit-MS LOG PRN and CLOSE commands. . Key Redefinition Key redefinitions are accomplished in the same way as with the IBM-PC version. However, key redefintion may only be used when Heath emulation is turned off.
