Regarding the recent posting about V2.30.  I managed to get the .BOO file from
KERMSRV@CUVMA via BITNET, and downloaded it from a VAX 11/750 to my Rainbow.

I used a program which I was given some years ago written in ASM to convert
the .BOO file - It was called MSBPCT.ASM when I got it, and it is at home and
I can't recall who wrote it.  The conversion program offered by KERMSRV is
written in MICROSOFT BASIC (CP/M-86 !!!). That sounded so bizzare that I
didn't even try it. Anyway, it all worked and my version of MS-KERMIT V2.30
does work, though I have only used it briefly and made no attempt to try all
of the features.  In addition to .INI files, it has the ability to look for
specific input coming over the COMM port (i.e. it can wait until a "username:"
prompt appears and then answer it).  So, in principle, one could have a means
of using KERMIT to automatically log in to a remote computer.

It advertises VT102 emulation.  I don't know if it can be tricked into VT220
emulation.  If not, it will be of less use to me than V2.29.1 which does allow
full VT220 emulation.
