OS-278 is similar to OS-8, but has support for more modern devices -- like RX50 diskette drives -- added. OS-278 is not the same as WPS. It is not a DEC product, but is available from DECUS, and is used within DEC for DECmate development. This Kermit program is based on the OS-8 version of Kermit done by Jerry Sands & Randy Hippe of Hippe of Bureau of Engraving Inc, Minneapolis MN, and was adapted to OS-278 by Martyn Hemmings at DEC, in Germany. The files are in KER:K278*.* on CU20B, available via anonymous FTP, or on CUVMA as K278* *, available (traffic permitting) via BITNET KERMSRV. It is hoped that this program will eventually serve as a basis for a "native" DECmate WPS Kermit. -------
