This message is intended for Alan Croswell, who is supposedly our contact
for submitting kermit source modifications.  If I managed to get the wrong
BITNET address or the wrong person, please forward this message to the
appropriate person.

I have just completed testing (as much as software testing is ever complete)
the support for KERMIT v. 2.28 for the VICTOR 9000/SIRIUS microcomputer.
The modules are
   MSXV9000.ASM - basic serial support without SET KEY support.
   MSYV9000.ASM - terminal emulator support which ignores the HEATH emulation
       flag since the VICTOR looks like a HEATH without any effort on the
       programer's part.

Two other modules for an optional version are
   MSYV9TEK.ASM - terminal emulator support which looks like a Tektronix 4010
       series terminal if HEATH emulation is turned off.
   MSZV9TEK.ASM - replacement module for MSXDMB.ASM to insure that the
       graphics screen area has a reasonable chance of ending up in the
       required portion of main memory for the video controller to access
       it properly.

These modules, along with a help file describing the features and use of
the VICTOR 9000 version, are ready for submission to your main server.  I
would appreciate any instructions on how to go about transferring them to
you.

NOTE:  In adding this support I discovered that the subroutine OUTCHR must
preserve the bx register or the routine that initiates a transfer will get
very lost.  This is contrary to the information in the MSKERM.DOC file
regarding supporting new machines, which indicates that the bx register is
not required to be returned unchanged.  I am using sources for the main
body of Kermit which I obtained over BITNET about the end of November, 1985.
