CKIKER.UPD -- list of updates to Amiga Kermit ALL FILES, 17 January 1997, Stephen Walton As of some time ago, all CKI* files were brought under RCS Version Control. The comments at the top of those files detail changes made since the last update of this file. CKIFIO.C, 12 July 1986: Worked around bug with Lattice standard I/O putc() macro which causes signed char 0xFF to be discarded if output when it is time to flush a block. This was affecting 0xFF's at offsets which were multiples of 512 bytes when binary files were received. Fixed by changing zchout() argument to unsigned char. Also modified zchout() so that an output file error would return -1 as documented. CKITIO.C, 17 July 1986 Fixed bug in contti() which caused the control sequence introducer (0x9B) to not be transmitted as the ANSI ESC [ sequence in connect mode. This uncovered a bug in ttocq() which occurred only with extremely rapid input, which was then fixed. CKIUTL.C, 17 July 1986 Worked around AmigaDOS quirk which caused last line input in a CLI window spawned by system() to be echoed (without newline) to the original process window. The file handle structure is modified, which lacks finesse but seems to work. CKICON.C, 27 July 1986 Parity was not being added to outgoing characters in connect mode, causing problems with systems that actually cared about parity. The parity calculation was reinstated. CKITIO.C, 8 September 1986 Realized that ttol() was making the rather obnoxious assumption that the buffer to be output is not changed while still writing to the serial line. Because of the way the protocol works, this was not causing problems, but an output buffer was added to avoid the assumption. various, November 1986-January 1987 Lattice 3.10 changes CKIKER.BLD, CKIKER.MAK, 12 April 1987 Changed references to LIB:LSTARTUP.OBJ to LIB:C.O. LSTARTUP.OBJ and C.O, are the same routine, at least prior to 3.10, but Commodore/Amiga renamed it LSTARTUP.OBJ for their own distributions of the compiler, since it set up for the Lattice file I/O routines in LC.LIB. Their own version, ASTARTUP.OBJ supported the smaller, limited set defined in AMIGA.LIB. CKI*.C, 1 November 1989 Added code to handle both Manx Aztec C (Version 3.6a) and to allow the Amiga Kermit code to work with Version 4F(095) of C Kermit. The Aztec-specific code is all within #ifdef AZTEC_C...#endif pairs. Several other changes were made, among them: (a) Added code to set the initial parity according to Preferences in the way supported in AmigaDOS 1.2 and beyond, including mark and space. (b) The zsattr() function was copied from the Unix code and added to ckifio.c. This supports the sending of attribute packets. (c) The modifications required from the 4D->4E C Kermit update were added.
