Date: Wed May 15 09:09:39 2002 From: Christine M Gianone Subject: HP-1000 Kermit versus Modern Kermits HP-1000 Kermit does not handle Kermit protocol feature negotiations correctly, and fails to transfer files with modern Kermit versions such as C-Kermit 7.0 or later or most versions of Kermit 95. To adjust the newer Kermits to HP-1000 Kermit, use: set send negotiation-string-max-length 6 ------------------------------ Date: Mon Jan 8, 1990, 19:16:46 EST From: Christine M Gianone Subject: Announcing HP-1000 Kermit Version 1.99D Keywords: HP-1000, RTE Operating System This is to announce version 1.99D of HP-1000 Kermit for the Hewlett-Packard 1000 series of computers with the RTE-6 and RTE-A operating systems, from Paul Schumann of E-Systems, Inc, Greenville, Texas, USA. This version replaces version 1.98 of September 1986. The major new feature is support for the D-Series multiplexer and drivers. The new files are available in the "D" area of Kermit distribution: Distribution Name Original Name Description HPMKER.SRC (many) Fortran Source Code HPMKER.SUB KERMIT.SBMT Interex program submission form HPMKER.INS KERMIT.ISTL Installation instructions HPMKER.LOD KERMIT.LOD Loader command file HPMKER.HLP KERMIT.TEXT Plain text help file HPMKER.MAK KERMIT.MAKE Makefile Binary files are not included, since these are not easily distributed on industry-standard magnetic tapes or over networks. According to the installation instructions, these files can be generated from the Fortran source (and in the case of the indexed help file, from KERMIT.TEXT). The source code consists of many files concatenated into one single file, HPMKER.SRC. Within this file, each original file begins with a line like <<< k6subs.ftn >>> to show the original file name. This file can be picked apart into its original files with a text editor or a simple program. Before attempting to build HP-1000 Kermit, be sure to reconstitute the original source files, and to rename the HPMKER files back to their original names shown above. Many thanks to Paul Schumann for keeping this version of Kermit current, and for sending it in to us! ------------------------------
