Subject: New Release of Acorn BBC Kermit

This is to announce version 1.45 of Acorn BBC Kermit from Alan Phillips of
Lancaster University (SYSKERMIT%vax1.central.lancaster.ac.uk@Cs.Ucl.AC.UK),
which replaces version 1.30 of April 1986.  The program runs on Acorn models B,
B+, B+128, and Master 128, with Acorn DFS, 1770 DFS, ADFS, Econet, or any other
Acorn-compatible filing system.

Version 1.45 comes with numerous big fixes and improvements, new documentation
(including a 124-page manual), and a new version (1.50) of Alan's free 65c02
assembler (which can be used to assemble the program by those who don't have
the ADE assembler).

The new version is in KER:BBC*.* (really K3:, or Tape C), for anonymous FTP
from CU20B, and as BBC* * on BITNET/EARN from KERMSRV at CUVMA.  The file
BBC145.ANN lists in detail the changes to BBC Kermit since version 1.30.
The source is in BBCKER.ASM, which is actually the concatenation of many
smaller files (explained in comments at the top).

Version 2.0 of BBC Kermit (which will appear in "many months") will support
sliding windows.  Thanks to Alan for producing this new version and sending it
to us over BITNET.
