WHAT IS IN THIS FILE

This file lists changes made to C-Kermit since the second edition of the book
"Using C-Kermit" was published in November 1996.  Use this file as a
supplement to the second edition of "Using C-Kermit".  If the "most recent
update" shown above is long ago, contact Columbia University to see if there
is a newer release.

For further information, also see the CKERMIT.BWR ("C-Kermit beware") file for
hints, tips, tricks, restrictions, frequently asked questions, etc, plus the
system-specific "beware file", e.g. CKUKER.BWR for UNIX, CKVKER.BWR for VMS,
etc, and also any system-specific update files such as CKERMIT.INF for OS/2,
or BUGS.DOC and UPDATES.DOC for Windows 95 and NT.

------------------------------
NOTE TO KERMIT 95 USERS

This file concentrates on the aspects of C-Kermit that are common to all
versions: UNIX, VMS, OS/2, etc.  Please refer to your Kermit 95 documentation:
the "Kermit 95" booklet, the UPDATES.DOC and BUGS.DOC files, and to all the
other files in the Kermit 95 DOCS directory for information that is specific
to Kermit 95.  Also, please note that "Using C-Kermit" predates Kermit 95
altogether, and so please pardon the fact that it does not mention Windows 95
or NT; it is still the definitive reference for the C-Kermit command and
script programming language.

-----------------------------------------
A WORD ABOUT VERSIONS AND VERSION NUMBERS

"C-Kermit" refers to all the many programs that are compiled in whole or in
part from common C-language source code, comprising:

 . A Kermit file transfer protocol module
 . A command parser and script execution module
 . A modem-dialing module
 . A network support module
 . A character-set translation module.

and several others.  These "system-independent" modules are combined with
system-dependent modules for each platform to provide the required
input/output functions, and also in some cases overlaid with an alternative
user interface, such as Macintosh Kermit's point-and-click interface, and in
some cases also a terminal emulator, as Kermit 95.

The C-Kermit version number started as 1.0, ... 3.0, 4.0, 4.1 and then
(because of confusion at the time with Berkeley UNIX 4.2), 4B, 4C, and so on,
with the specific edit number in parentheses, for example 4E(072) or 5A(188).
This scheme was used through 5A(191), but now we have gone back to the
traditional numbering scheme with decimal points:  major.minor.edit; for
example 6.0.192.

Meanwhile, C-Kermit versions for some platforms might go through several
releases while C-Kermit itself remains the same.  These versions have their
own platform-specific version numbers, such as Kermit 95 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and
so on.

------------------------------
II. NEW FEATURES

Support for the Bell Labs Plan 9 operating system was added to version
6.0.192 too late to be mentioned in the book (although it does appear on
the cover).

Specific items below are grouped together by major topic, roughly
corresponding to the chapters of "Using C-Kermit".

(1) PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND COMMANDS

1.1. Command Continuation

Comments that start with ";" or "#" can no longer be continued.  In:

  ; this is a comment -
  echo blah

the ECHO command will execute, rather than being taken as a continuation of
the preceding comment line.  However, the text of the COMMENT command can
still be continued onto subsequent lines:

  comment this is a comment -
  echo blah

As of version 6.0.192, backslash is no longer a valid continuation character.
Only hyphen should be used for command continuation.  This is to make it
possible to issue commands like "cd a:\" on DOS-like systems.

(2) MAKING AND USING CONNECTIONS

2.1. Modems

Cardinal modem type added, for Cardinal V.34 MVP288X series.

2.2. TELNET and RLOGIN

SET TELNET BUG BINARY-ME-MEANS-U-TOO { ON, OFF } was added to edit 192
