Theall) Newsgroups: comp.sys.dec.micro Subject: Kermit for Rainbow Message-ID: <9008051537.AA22193@remote.dccs.upenn.edu> Date: 5 Aug 90 16:32:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 37 The following announcement appeared in the latest Info-Kermit Digest (3 August 1990). ----- snip, snip, snip ----- >Date: Thu Aug 2 13:01:34 1990-EDT >From: Christine M. Gianone >Subject: New Test Release of DEC Rainbow Kermit >Keywords: MS-DOS Kermit, Rainbow Kermit, DEC Rainbow > >From Robert Weiner, a new version of Kermit for the DEC Rainbow, based on >the system-independent parts of the July 22nd MS-DOS Kermit 3.02 test release. >The Rainbow version lacks many of the IBM-specific enhancements that appeared >in MS-DOS Kermit 3.0, like international character sets, instantaneous screen >rollback, etc, but these MAY be added before the final release of this >program. The system-independent features -- script programming enhancements, >sliding windows, long packets, VT200/300 emulation (it's still at the VT102 >level), etc. > >Thanks to Rob for keeping the Rainbow up to date! The files are in >kermit/a/mstrb1.boo ("BOO" file to be un-boo'd into an .EXE file using any of >the MSBPCT files) on the Internet or MSTRB1 BOO on BITNET KERMSRV at CUVMA. >For internet binary-mode FTP access only, also kermit/bin/mstrb1.exe. ----- snip, snip, snip ----- Doesn't look like there's any documentation specially for the Rainbow - just the executable. If anyone's interested in testing out this version and doesn't have easy access, let me know and I can e-mail and/or post to a local (to me :-) bbs.
