REVISION HISTORY for MSXTIPRO.ASM REVLVL=1 29-Oct-84 First version to be able to transfer files REVLVL=2 14-Nov-84 Fixed bugs in version 1 REVLVL=3 27-Nov-84 Added Tektronix-4010 emulation in CONNECT mode, now works with TI internal modem, any port. REVLVL=4 Started interrupt code. Renamed MSXTEK to MSYTIPRO.ASM REVLVL=5 25-Jun-85 Finished H19 emulation, now works at 9600 baud. -- CHANGES -- MSXTIPRO has been tested with the Sync/Async Comm Card at all speeds from 110 to 9600 baud. Works with COMM card in any port, 1 thru 4. This version of KERMIT will work with a TI internal modem. To use the internal modem, SET PORT 3, SET BAUD 300, CONNECT. With external phone, type "O" to go into manual original mode. Or type "T1(617)467-7437X" to use the built-in dialer. Capital T means to use touch-tones, capital X marks the end of the number. Can transfer file-packets at 9600 baud (but not 19.2 kbaud). The VT52 "identify yourself" sequence of ESC,'Z' is not working right. It should respond as an H-19 or VT52 terminal. -- BUGS -- No known bugs in the MSXTIPRO portion of KERMIT. MSYTIPRO clears the screen when the KERMIT escape character is typed, and does not repaint the screen when CONNECT is resumed. -- DEFICIENCIES -- The STATUS command is wrong if you select port 2, 3, or 4. *** According to the MSXSYS.DOC, flags.comflg is supposed to be 0 *** when using port 2. This makes it difficult to use ports 3 and 4. The SET HEATH-19 ON/OFF command needs to be replaced by a new command, SET TERMINAL-EMULATION ON/OFF/HEATH-19/VT52/VT100/VT102/ADM3A/TVI910/etc. ANSI.SYS is a part of the TI-BIOS, but it does not fully emulate a VT100. The commands to the TI internal modem are not the same as Hayes Smartmodem. -- SUGGESTIONS -- [Send suggestions via U.S. mail to Dan Smith, CSM Computing Center, 1500 Illinois Street, Golden, CO 80401 (303)273-3396] Finish implementing a generalized ESCape sequence processor that can handle both HEATH19/VT52 and ANSI/VT100 sequences. It should be general enough to run on any 8088/8086 CPU regardless of hardware or operating system. Add ReGIS(GIGI/VT125/VT241) emulation in addition to Tektronix 4105 emulation. It should be written so that it can be used on the TI-PRO, IBM-PC, Rainbow-100. Add routine to translate Hayes "AT" commands to TI internal modem commands. ------------------------------ From: why_not!scsnet!sunder@seismo.CSS.GOV Date: Mon Jun 2 09:56:47 EDT 1986 Subject: Ti-Pro kermit 2.29 revision 6 bugs Well, The long standing terminal emulation bugs in kermit for the Texas Instruments Professional computer are still with us in the latest release. To be a little more specific: The Heath-19 emulation gives you 25 five lines on the screen in- stead of 24,reverse video does not work at all, and local echo does nothing. As far as I can tell, the protocol parts of ti-kermit run fine. It would be nice if someday I could use my ti as a terminal instead of just a file xfer box.

Keith Pyle, pyle@ngp.UTEXAS.EDU, complains that local echo does not work in MS-Kermit 2.29 on the TI Pro, even though it did work in 2.27 and 2.28. - Frank ------------------------------ 11-Aug-86 09:34:38-EDT,1504;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from seismo.CSS.GOV by CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU with TCP; Mon 11 Aug 86 09:34:33-EDT Return-Path: Received: from why_not.UUCP by seismo.CSS.GOV with UUCP; Mon, 11 Aug 86 09:24:42 EDT From: why_not!scsnet!sunder@seismo.CSS.GOV Message-Id: <8608111324.AA07513@seismo.CSS.GOV> Date: Mon Aug 11 09:22:45 EDT 1986 Subject: Ti Pro Kermit Bugs Apparently-To: INFO-KERMIT@CU20B Greetings, After a bit of use, I have found the following three bugs in what I beleive is the current version of MS-DOS kermit for the Texas Instruments Professional Computer. 1. Local Echo does not work. 2. In Heath-19 mode, Inverse Video does not work 3. In Heath-19 mode, margin wrap does not work. I have no bugs in the protocol, but the bugs in its terminal handling severely restrict its usefullness to me. Could this information be passed on to whoever is maintaining TI-Pro Kermit? All the above is true for TI-Pro Kermit V2.29 Revision 6, 6 May 86. If there is a newer version that has fixed these bugs, could someone clue me in on it? _________________________________________________________________________ UUCP: (1) seismo!why_not!scsnet!sunder Mark E.
