Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) announces the availability of a new release of the Kermit telecommunications software for desktop DOS and Macintosh computers. MS-Kermit (for DOS-compatible systems) is now available in version 3.13 and MacKermit (for Apple Macintosh systems) is now available in version .991(190). Previous MCIS releases were 3.11 for MS-Kermit and .99(40) for MacKermit. The new versions are on a disk-exchange basis in the MCIS Learning Technologies Center in 137 MacCracken, from MCIS Instructional Computing in 352 Gaskill, and from the MCIS Help Desk in 141 Hoyt. The new versions of MacKermit and MS-Kermit facilitate faster file transfers, better VT200 terminal emulation support (for connection to OpenVMS and UNIX systems), and greater consistency between the Mac and DOS- compatible versions. Configuration of MS-Kermit on DOS-compatible systems has been enhanced and simplified.
