They include: . Suspendibility via Ctrl-Z on systems with job control (Bob Brown). . Explicit support for SCO Xenix in the Makefile (from D.W. Bettinger). . Explicit support for the AT&T 7300, including the ability to dial its internal modem (from R.E. Hill, untested). . Improved response of the C-Kermit server to 'remote cwd' commands. . Miscellaneous small fixes and cleanups. The major change is that since this is now considered a real release, the files have been named from XK*.* back to CK*.*, and the XK*.* files are gone, resulting in a savings of about 2 megabytes in our Kermit distribution area and on our tapes. All files' names changed, but the only files whose contents changed are: ckuker.upd - Update history ckuker.bwr - Beware file ckcfns.c - Functions (better reporting of current directory by server) ckcmai.c - Main program (new version number) ckcpro.c - Protocol module (wart output) ckudia.c - Dial module (ATT 7300 support added) ckuusr.c - New calls ckutio.c - Support for ATT 7300, job control fixes ckufio.c - New zgtdir() function to return current directory ckdfio.c - Ditto (but dummy) ckifio.c - Ditto (but dummy) ckmfio.c - Ditto (but dummy) ckvfio.c - Ditto (but dummy) ckwart.c - Syntax error fixed These files are in K2: on CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU, e.g. K2:CKCFNS.C, available via anonymous FTP. They are also available on BITNET from KERMSRV@CUVMA as CKCFNS C, etc. For information about using KERMSRV to get Kermit files, send a message to KERMSRV@CUVMA with the message text saying "help". Please report any problems with this release to Info-Kermit@CU20B. -------
