30-May-86 07:02:56 A minor release of Kermit-11 is available. This version, 3.51, differs only in a number of RT11/TSX+ specific modifications from the previously announced Kermit-11. Specifically: 1. Reduction in the size of the root for XM to facilitate running Kermit as a foreground task. 2. Complete rewrite of terminal emulation, specifically to enhance the support of the XL/XC/CL handlers. It is now completely event driven thus performance should be improved as well as presenting a much lower load on the CPU. It should also function better under SJ. 3. Restructuring buffer allocation to (1) Reduce the root size for XM, and (2) To enable the USR to swap over buffers for SJ and FB. This will eliminate Kermit crashing on USR requests in 95% of the cases for SJ and FB systems with minimal background memory available (ie, many devices in the system and/or large RMON). 4. Control C delivery has been improved by adding a watchdog timer to check for control C's as RT11 does not generate an AST on control C. The files are currently available via KERMSRV@UOFT02.BITNET or by dialup from the University of Toledo's VAX 11/785. Columbia will receive a new distribution shortly. Brian Nelson brian@uoft02.bitnet
