Subject: Amiga Kermit Executable Available for Testing

I am sending you a file called CKAKER.BOO, which is the Amiga Kermit
executable in BOO format.  I also include my version of MSBPCT.C, which
should translate it back into the executable.

This version is a PRE-RELEASE version.  I am sending it so that you can test
it, and send me any comments you may have.  I am getting the sources in
shape to send, but it is taking longer than I thought it would (doesn't it
always?).

Right now, the known problems/deficiencies are:

        1)  Wildcards are not allowed in filenames
        2)  No LOCAL commands are supported (DIRECTORY, CWD, etc.)
        3)  No DIAL or login scripts
        4)  The SERVER mode only does GET, SEND, BYE, FINISH and REMOTE HELP
        5)  No XON/XOFF flow control
        6)  REMOTE HELP messages go to the DOS window, not the KERMIT window
            (in fact, they don't show up until you exit from Kermit)
        7)  The program thinks the window is 80 columns wide, when, in fact,
            it is only about 76 columns wide (it can be resized to be even
            smaller)
        8)  No terminal emulation (just a dumb terminal in CONNECT mode)
        9)  File transactions all report elapsed time of 0 seconds (although
            timeouts work properly)

That's all I can think of right now.  Please let me know if you come up with
any other problems or improvements.

You should receive 2 files:  CKAKER.BOO and MSBPCT.C
