Disk No:   42
Program Title: KERMIT version 2.30
PC-SIG version 3.1

KERMIT is a two-disk set which implements the KERMIT file transfer
protocol for machines using the same processor family (Intel 8088 or
8086) and MS/PC-DOS operating system family.  The package contains a
complete program for IBM-specific machines as well as generic MS-DOS
ones.  The first disk contains the Assembly language source code; this
disk contains the programs and documentation.

KERMIT-MS performs an almost complete emulation of the DEC VT-102
terminal at speeds up to 19,200 baud (lacking only smooth scrolling, 132
column mode, and ANSI printer control).  Much of the speed is
accomplished via direct writes to screen memory, but this is done in a
"TopView" aware manner to allow successful operation in windowing
environments like TopView, MS-Windows, and DesqView.  Full-speed 9600
baud operation is possible on 4.77Mhz systems.

KERMIT runs on a wide variety of MS-DOS systems, including the entire
IBM-PC family (the PC, XT, AT, PCjr, Portable PC, PC Convertible) and
compatibles (Compaq, Z150, etc), the DEC Rainbow, NEC APC, Sanyo MBC,
Victor 9000, HP-110, HP-150, HP Portable Plus, and many others.
