Summary: Status report

First off, I was way off base when I accused the Unix upper case mode of
interfering with Kermit.  In point of fact it was a parity problem.  As
Ron Natalie says: "Parity is for Farmers...".

I've got the entire source uploaded to a Unix directory, and have sent out
one beta test copy.  Rather than type the 25 pages of documentation in by
hand I submitted it as a test job for our new Kurzweil scanner.  When the
text comes back I will package it up and post it.  Since it is already more
than 160KB without documentation I will probably post it in three pieces.

Summary: this is Kermit ][ 2.8 and is a combination of Applesoft Basic and
assembly language.  It does a lot of peeking, pokeing, and jumping to many
strange weird addresses, so it may very well be machine and system specific.
I use it on a ][+ with DOS 3.3 without problems.  It has a 70 column display
option, does lower case with the hi-res screen, and can/must be customized
for one of five terminal cards:  Apple Comm, Apple Super Serial, Micromodem,
CalComp, or Novation.  It only does TEXT mode, but there are programs with
it that convert APPLESOFT and BINARY files to/from TEXT form for xmission.
