Subject: Submission of new version of Kermit-UCSD  (UCPECAN)

I am submiting my version of Kermit-UCSD (Version 1.0, 17 Aug 88).

You should recieve 2 files: 1) a large (about 3300 lines) one containing the
source (UCPECA.PAS) and a smaller (about 300 lines) one containing the
documentation (UCPECA.DOC).

This version does not have everything I was planning on implementing and has
a few known bugs (listed in the .DOC file), but it does work (and is MUCH
better than any of the other versions of Kermit-UCSD I could find currently
in Kermit Distribution).

I hope to be able to provide an upgrade on this within about 6 Months to one
Year.

I also hope to be able to send an encoded KERMIT.CODE file and a decoding
program, containing the entire program and implementation parts of the Pecan
Library Units, for people with Version IV p-Systems that can't afford or
don't need to purchase Pecan's Library.  They will still have to go to USUS
to get a REMUNIT for their system though.  The Pecan Licence permits this for
"non-commercial purposes" (but I am still checking with them to make sure
that they are satisified with my attachment of their copyright notice, so
there will be no problems).

[Ed. - Many thanks, R. Tim!  Those who are interested in bringing up this
program on other UCSD p-Systems besides the Atari are encouraged to do so,
and report back the results.  The .DOC file tells how to reach Pecan and
USUS.  The files are in kermit/c/ucpeca.* on CUNIXC, and in KER:UCPECA.* on
CU20B, and also available as UCPECA * from KERMSRV at CUVMA, and also can be
ordered on Kermit Tape C from Columbia.]

I am submiting my new version of Kermit-UCSD (Version 1.1), currently
running on the Atari MEGA ST2 with the Pecan Software Systems Inc p-System
Version IV.2.2, and adaptable to Version IV p-Systems on other machines.

You should recieve 3 files: 1) a large (about 4500 lines) one containing 
the source (UCPECA.PAS), a smaller (about 500 lines) one containing the
documentation (UCPECA.DOC), and a very short (about 50 lines) one containing
a brief list of changes made from V1.0 to V1.1 (UCPECA.UPD).

This version contains most of the features I wanted and fixes for the major
bugs of V1.0; known limitations are listed in the .DOC file.

Subject: New Release UCPECAN Kermit V1.1

I am submiting a minor upgrade to UCPECAN my Kermit-UCSD (Version 1.1).

You should recieve 2 files: 1) a large (about 1400 lines) one containing
the source (UCPUPD.PAS) and a very short one containing "installation
instructions" and a brief list of changes made to V1.1 by this upgrade
(UCPUPD.UPD).  The changes are

1)  Added a new Unit (DIR.FIXES) to work around problems
    encountered with SFS. This update removes Limitation #4,
    making BINARY file transfers exact in both SFS and AFS
    implementations.

2)  Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect time to be sent in
    the attribute packet if no time was specified with the
    creation date (this bug affected both AFS and SFS).
