Date: Wed, 20 Jan 93 12:00:00 EST From: Christine M. Gianone Subject: A New Release of Kermit for CTOS and BTOS Keywords: CTOS, BTOS, Convergent, Burroughs B20 From Evan Arnerich and Doug Drury of ITT Federal Services Corporation, Santa Maria, CA: version 2.00 of CT-Kermit for the Burroughs B20/BTOS and Convergent NGEN/CTOS systems. This new version adds many of the capabilities of MS-DOS Kermit 3.x and C-Kermit 5A, particularly script programming features (INPUT, OUTPUT, IF, ASK, GOTO, variables, etc), and includes a built-in VT101 terminal emulator. Version 2.00 of CT-Kermit replaces version 1.07 of July 1988, which was contributed by Joel Dunn of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The new files replace the old ones in kermit/c/ct*.* on watsun.cc.columbia.edu. The old version has been moved to kermit/old on watsun. The new version is also available from KERMSRV at CUVMA as CT* *. Many thanks to Evan and Doug for their contribution! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Jul 88 16:27:20 edt From: Joel Dunn Subject: CTOS/BTOS Kermit Keywords: CTOS, BTOS, Convergent, Burroughs B20 Last fall I sent you a copy of Kermit that I had ported to CTOS on Convergent NGEN systems and BTOS on the Burroughs B20. I just dropped another version in the mail that adds a few features and fixes a few bugs. This version I call CTOS-Kermit 1.07, and the most significant feature is probably its VT100 emulation in terminal mode. It isn't a perfect VT100, but it works for most things without blowing up. I have had this version in distribution since January, and have have heard positive feedback, and I have not heard from anyone that was having problems. --Joel Dunn, UNC-Chapel Hill Administrative Data Processing [Ed. - Thanks, Joel! The new version has replaced the old one as KER:CT*.* in the Kermit Distribution. The files and naming conventions are listed in KER:CTAAAA.DOC. The program is based on an old release of C-Kermit, but Joel says that when he gets C-Kermit 4E(070) he will try to add the CTOS/BTOS support to it, so it will be yet another of the regular C-Kermits.] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Sep 87 08:45:32 edt From: ecsvax.uucp!joeld@mcnc.org (Joel Dunn) Subject: C-Kermit for CTOS Over the last year, I have been gradually porting C-Kermit 4.2(030) march 85 to CTOS, a multi-tasking proprietary operating system that runs on Convergent Technologies NGEN micro computers. I re-wrote the comm line I/O, disk I/O, and video I/O, and added a rudimentary VT100 emulation option. The protocol code is pretty much as I got it, as is the command parser and things like that. I use it fairly regularly, both as a terminal emulator and for text and binary file transfers to my local Unix machine running C-Kermit. My port is not perfect, but I would like to offer it up to the "Kermit Gods" if you are at all interested. I know it is based on "old" source, but that is what I was able to easily get at the time I started this project, back in the summer of '86. I only worked on it as time permitted, so that's why it took me a year to get it where I thought it worked. Let me know if you want me to send it to you.
