Since most apple 2's have no clock kermit uses a loop with the cpu for time delays. There is now a "set timing nnn", where nnn is the times thru the $fca8 rom routine for a 1 ms delay. If your machine runs faster than a 6502 cpu then you may want to increase this number to get the 1 ms delay. 2. Kermit-65 has been on a weight loss program to attempt to improve performance. If you have a //e+ or better with a interupt driven com routine the results are significant otherwise so so. 3. The help command now reads file kermit.help for help. So if you dont like the help you can write your own. File is a text file and should be limited to 80 col lines. 4. With all the different (hayes compatable?) modems we have had to add an escape character "\" (reverse slash) for the modem file. So if you need to send the "&" to your modem, prefix it with the "\" and the "&" will not be interpreted as the 1 sec delay. And of course if you want to send the "\" you will have to send 2 of them. 5. The "type" command has been added so you can list a text file on your screen. If you have more than 80 col lines things may get a little out of hand. Otherwise you should be able to see 22 lines at a time and optionally be able to start over again at the top. 6. Sending files with wildcards in the names now uses the hardware stack. This means that a very complicated name with wildcards may cause a stack overflow with undefined results. Appreciate feedback on this please.
