[Module: VMSTRM] o Fixed a problem reading files with FORTRAN carriage control. [Module VMSFIL] o Changed the functionality of the FINISH command. It will now return to the prompt level, and not exit to DCL. The following are know problems with Kermit-32 3.2.077. o Commands are upcased so that LIB$TPARSE will scan the command correctly. This causes problems when attempting to set the prompt and sending server commands to a UNIX based Kermit. o Kermit-32 will quote multiple characters with "~" in a file name even if the REPEAT_QUOTE character is set to space. o When receiving a file of type FIXED, if the final record is not exactly 512 bytes, then an error occurs and the receiving Kermit blows up. o Kermit-32 can hang on a virtual terminal due to XON-XOFF processing between the VAX and a remote system.
