Subject: Announcing Version 2.00 of CMS Kermit
To: info-kermit@CU20B.ARPA

Version 2.00 of Kermit-CMS is now available.  Some of the new
features are:

- Prefixing of the "8th bit".  This allows CMS Kermit to send or
  receive fixed format binary data, such as microcomputer binary files.

- The maximum record length allowed has been increased to 64K for
  both incoming and outgoing files.

- Repeat count prefixing has been added to speed up transmission.

- Support for two character checksum and three character CRC.

- New debugging mode to log packets.

- Input to command parser allowed from command line.  Multiple commands
  should be separated by the linend character.  After execution of these
  commands, Kermit returns control to CMS.

- Support for Series/1 front end with Yale ASCII package.

- Server operation.

- Upon startup, read commands from two init files: SYSTEM KERMINI and
  (USERID) KERMINI (that is the userid of the person running Kermit).
  Add TAKE command.

- Allow system manager to change ASCII/EBCDIC translation tables to
  conform to the various specifications of different systems.  Also,
  bypass user translate tables when sending and receiving data.

Work on CMS Kermit continues.

and on BITnet via KERMSRV at CUVMA.  Included is a new Kermit User Guide
chapter for CMS Kermit.]
