A new version of PC KERMIT, version 1.20, is now available for testing.
Some additions made to the current version (v1.18) include:

   -  Allow ^X/^Z to interrupt sending/receiving a file or file group,
      respectively.

   -  If get an error when receiving a file, clean up and send an error
      packet.  Allow user to specify whether to keep what made it over
      or to discard it.  

   -  Add U. of Arizona changes so Kermit once again compiles on the 
      Z100 (Joellen Windsor).  Move IBM specific statements inside 
      IBM conditional assembly blocks.

   -  Print packet and retry numbers in decimal instead of hex.  

   -  Allow users to choose between COM1 (default) and COM2.  Also,
      remind the user about which communications port they are using
      and at what baud rate when connecting to another system.  

   -  Add SET BACKARROW so can set backarrow to backspace or delete.
      (William Dair)  And, set default to ON for renaming files due
      to filename conflicts.  Change VT52 emulation messages to 
      Heath-19 since that's what Kermit-86 emulates. 

Please report any bugs to Sy.Daphne@CU20B or CC.Daphne@Columbia-20.
Users with Z100's are encouraged to try the test version as we are
not sure all the Z100 compilation problems were fixed. 

The files are located in publicly accessible directories on all four
CUCCA DEC-20's, CUCS20, and CUTC20 called Kermit, logically defined
as KER:.  The relevant files are PCKERM20.ASM, PCKERM20.HLP, and
PCKERM20.FIX (the printable version of the .EXE file.)  To get a
working copy of Kermit for the IBM PC or the Z100 (running MS DOS),
copy the FIX file to the PC and run the BASIC program PCKEXE.BAS or
use the bootstrapping programs PCKSEND.FOR and PCKGET.BAS.  For more
information, see the Kermit User's Guide.

Finally, there is a new format for the FIX files.  Therefore, to
reconstruct the .EXE file, make certain that you are using the most
recent versions of PCKSEND.FOR, PCKGET.BAS, PCKEXE.BAS, and
PCKFIX.ASM.
