Subject: C-Kermit 6.1 Beta.05
Here is C-Kermit 6.1 Beta.05. I thought Beta.04 would be it, but it had one
fatal problem plus a few minor ones, fixed in Beta.05, plus some long-awaited
and important VMS fixes came in. I'm hoping to be able to make the public
announcement early next week, so let's hope this one is OK.
CHANGES SINCE BETA.04
. Fixed: UUCP lockfiles were not always being deleted (this was the bad one).
. Fixed: Various other subtle problems with UUCP lockfiles.
. Fixed: Various problems with directory-name parsing in VMS (Lucas Hart).
. Fixed: Labeled-mode transfers with relative pathnames in VMS (Lucas Hart)
. Fixed: Problems transferring Fortran carriage control files in VMS (ditto).
. Fixed: HP-UX 9.x on Motorola not to use floating-point timers (again).
. Fixed: Unwanted "Alias => blah" messages removed during TCP connection.
. Fixed: AT&T 7300 builds (thanks to Peter Mauzey).
. Fixed: SET / SHOW { STREAMING, RELIABLE, CLEARCHANNEL } were invisible.
. Fixed: HELP SET [ TERMINAL ] ESCAPE text.
. Fixed: UNIX ../ and ./ stripping when sending.
. Added: More-sensible SET MODEM TYPE keywords for USR and Megahertz.
. Added: \v(model) for Digital UNIX.
. Added: Assorted filetypes to AOS/VS text/binary patterns lists.
. Added: More cross-references to HELP and SHOW messages.
. Added: Missing switch descriptions in HELP SEND.
UUCP lockfiles still need a lot of testing, especially on HP-UX and AIX.
Most of the major VMS issues have been cleared up in this edit, except for
CMU/IP, which I assume is still nonfunctional.
Since Beta.05 really will be going public, I need as many binaries as possible
to go with it. As before, if you can send in binaries that are not marked by
"+", or that are not listed below at all, I'd appreciate it. Please upload
them to:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/incoming/
(in binary mode of course) with names like those used in the binaries list
bwlow.
Thanks!

INDIVIDUAL BETA.05 BINARIES:
The binaries marked with (+) are Beta.05, transferred using itself to the
Kermit ftp site. The others are mostly Beta.02 or earlier Alpha or Beta
tests built at sites I can't reach any more or that have since been upgraded
to newer OS versions, or built on systems that don't work any more, or that
were sent in by others.
