Subject: Announcing a new MS-DOS Kermit 2.32 for the GRiD Compass II
Keywords: MS-DOS Kermit 2.32, GRiD Compass II Kermit

I have developed an enhanced MS-DOS kermit 2.32 for the GRiD Compass II that
supports Tektronix emulation and also contains several other features not
present in the current msvgri.exe. I have tested this program extensively on
GRiD Compass II models 1129 and 1131. (The 1129 has a small screen and the
1131 has a large screen.) I am submitting this kermit 2.32 to the Kermit
Distribution. I welcome comments and questions from users of MS-DOS kermit
2.31B for the GRiD Compass II.

I thank Prof. Doupnik for his helpful suggestions and encouragement in this
endeavor.

Key new features of the new MS-DOS Kermit for the GRiD Compass II:

 1. Tektronix 4010 emulation is supported.
 2. Speed is about 80% faster in connect mode.
 3. The hangup and send break commands now work.
 4. Flow control now works.

The files for the new Kermit will be sent via
electronic mail. They are as follows:

  82 -rw-r--r--  1 nyenhuis    83910 Jan  6 23:36 mstgri.boo

  65 -rw-r--r--  1 nyenhuis    65767 Jan  6 18:08 msxgri.asm

Except for MSGGRI.ASM, which is new, these files are updates of current files
in the kermit distribution. The file msugri.hlp contains documentation for the
the latest Kermit for the Compass II. A description of this program, which is
excerpted from msvgri.hlp, is given below.

Thank you.
