Kermit-32 v3.3.111 Release Notes Page 1 The following are the various changes that have gone into Kermit-32 version 3.3.111. This version is a maintenance version only and does not contain any major development work. This version has been tested under VMS 4.4 and 4.5 only. The following are the edits in Kermit-32 version 3.3.111. o Edit 3.3.100 Add TRANSMIT command along with SET/SHOW TRANSMIT ECHO and DELAY commands. o Edit 3.3.101 Change $TRNLOG system service calls to LIB$SYSTRNLOG library routine. Handle no translation properly in VMSTRM.BLI. o Edit 3.3.102 Add changes/fixes suggested by Art Guion and David Deley for VMSTRM.BLI o Turn off FALLBACK terminal characteristics for eightbit operations. o Decrease IBM timeouts when waiting for a handshake. o Edit 3.3.103 Add changes/fixes suggested by David Deley for VMSMIT.BLI Problem with an infinite loop getting a command. o Edit 3.3.104 Add changes/fixes suggested by Art Guion and David Deley for KERMSG.BLI. o Always attempt a handshake in IBM mode. Failing to handshake may cause 3704/5 style controller to hang a VM system. o Don't lose the last character in a buffer. BFRFILL logic forgets to send the last cahracters of a file when it doesn't fit into the current packet. o Edit 3.3.105 Attempt to fix the truncation errors that we now get from LINK with BLISS-32 v4.2. Also do code clean up in VMSTRM and VMSFIL. o Edit 3.3.106 Fix problem of closing a fixed file and losing data. o Edit 3.3.107 Do not abort on ERROR packet while in SERVER mode. Instead, return to SERVER IDLE mode. o Edit 3.3.110 Make KERMIT-32 close the terminal (so the terminal parameters are appropriately reset) upon reciept of a GENERIC LOGOUT packet. Kermit-32 v3.3.111 Release Notes Page 2 o Edit 3.3.111 Make Kermit-32 not eat the parity from a CR if a LF doesn't follow it when writing an ASCII file. The following are know problems with Kermit-32 3.3.111. o Commands are upcased so that LIB$TPARSE will scan the command correctly. This causes problems when attempting to set the prompt and sending server commands to a UNIX based Kermit. o Kermit-32 will quote multiple characters with "~" in a file name even if the REPEAT_QUOTE character is set to space. o When receiving a file of type FIXED, if the final record is not exactly 512 bytes, then an error occurs and the receiving Kermit blows up. o Kermit-32 can hang on a virtual terminal due to XON-XOFF processing between the VAX and a remote system.
