I'll include a uuencoded zoo file of the source, documentation, and executable of a tiny patch that fixes it right up at the end of this posting. Before I applied this patch, VLT would crash on me all the time. >>If I could find a good reliable term program with a decent kermit and >>Zmodem as good as JRComm's that wouldn't crash, I'd be a long way towards >>making my system more reliable.

VLT's kermit does not work well with 7-bit binary transfers on a 7-bit mark parity channel. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. The only kermit that I've found that works right with my host is an ancient buggy version of VT100. Also, you do have to admit that VLT's user interface is not as nice as that of JRComm (neither is the Zmodem support). I use VLT when I need Tek 4105 psuedo emulation (which I do occasionally). >Dan Griffin >griffin@frith.egr.msu.edu begin 777 mvp_patch.zoo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
