Subject: Kermit for Apple II
Hello fellow CP/Mers:
Re Kermit for CP/M systems: The Columbia University Kermit for CP/M
systems has been configured for several incarnations of Apple II
computers with a Z80 Softcard installed. To make an executable
(.COM-file) for one of these Kermits, log in to Cu Kermit's home machine
"Watsun" via anonymous ftp (the hostname is "watsun.cc.columbia.edu" and
I believe that translates to an ip of 128.59.39.2). The CP/M Kermit
files are in the directory ~kermit/a/cp*.*. What one does is to get the
system-independent file "cpsker.hex" (Intel hex-record format) and one
of the system dependent files cpvxxx.hex (xxx for a specific machine)
and MLOAD them together to form a working KERMIT.COM, as in A>MLOAD
KERMIT=CPSKER.HEX,CPVTEL.HEX to build Kermit for the Telcon Zorba.
Now then: The filenames (filetype is always .hex) for the Apple II
flavors of CP/M Kermit are given below. Grab one of these hex modules
and combine with CPSKER.HEX to get a working Kermit. One might also
want to get "cpkerm.doc" which is documentation (mostly correct). The
few exceptions where the doc is wrong I'll be glad to help anyone with.
Happy KERMITting!
