=============================

The KERMITs on this tape have been developed for the SIRIUS I at
University College Dublin. They have not been tested on the VICTOR 9000
but the two machines are supposed to be identical. 

Both versions (MS-DOS and CP/M-86), have been developed from the Kermit-86
distributed 4-May-83 Version 1.1.

The MS-DOS version is closer to that version. The only changes are to the
port handling routines, a specific set-up for the initialization of the port
and the addition of a line break routine called by ^[ B in the terminal
emulation routine.

The CP/M-86 version is developed from the above. A new interrupt routine
pushes various registers and exchanges ah for cl to enter the BDOS in the
CP/M manner. This is not the most efficient way of doing it, but it was
the easiest developed! The ASM86 assembler distributed with CP/M-86 that
we have (Ver. 1.1) has a number of short-comings which result in some
of the inelegant code. The code in the send and receive routines has been 
reshuffled to give faster operation.
