Ã-64/128 ËERMIT V2.2 FEATURES ONE MAJOR ENHANCEMENT OVER V2.1: RELIABLE
COMMUNICATION AT 2400 BPS IS NOW POSSIBLE (BUT ÏÎÌÙ WHEN USING IT ON A
Ã-128 WITH THE BUILT-IN 80 COLUMN SCREEN).  ÁLSO, A FEW BUGS HAVE BEEN
STOMPED ON AND COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION IS INCLUDED.
 
ËERMIT V2.2 IS IN TWO SELF-DISSOLVING ARCHIVES.  ÔHE FIRST ÓÄÁ IS "KERMIT
V2.2A.SDA".  ÉT CONTAINS THE MAIN PROGRAM AND AN AUTOBOOT MAKER THAT UTILIZES
FAST SERIAL ROUTINES WHEN POSSIBLE FOR Ã-128 USERS ("RUN ME NOW!" IS THE
FILENAME).
 
ÔHE SECOND ÓÄÁ, "KERMIT V2.2B.SDA", CONTAINS THE ON-DISK VERSION OF THE
V2.2 MANUAL BROKEN UP INTO SEVEN STANDARD ÐÅÔÓÃÉÉ TEXT FILES FOR EASY
PRINTING ON ANY PRINTER.
 
ÅNJOY!

ÎOTES:
 
1) ËERMIT V2.2 ACTS "FUNNY" WHEN A 1351 MOUSE OR A JOYSTICK IS PLUGGED IN.
   ÍAKE SURE YOU UNPLUG ANY MOUSE OR JOYSTICK BEFORE USING ËERMIT.
 
2) ÎOTE TO Ã-128 USERS:  ÍAKE SURE THE DISK YOU INTEND TO PUT ËERMIT ON HAS
   THE BOOT SECTOR FREE (ÔRACK 1, ÓECTOR 0) SO THAT THE AUTOBOOT MAKER
   CAN CREATE THE ËERMIT BOOT SECTOR.  ÉF THE SECTOR IS ÎÏÔ FREE, THE
   AUTOBOOT MAKER WILL NOT OVERWRITE THE EXISTING SECTOR, BUT STOP WITH A
   "65,ÎÏ ÂÌÏÃË" DISK ERROR.
 
3) ÔHIS IMPLEMENTATION OF ËERMIT V2.2 WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE ÓWIFTÌINK-232
   WAS CREATED, AND AS SUCH, DOES ÎÏÔ SUPPORT IT.
 
4) ÉF YOU INTEND TO USE ËERMIT ON A ÅUROPEAN (ÐÁÌ) Ã-64 OR Ã-128 BE SURE
   TO ALSO DOWNLOAD "KERMIT PAL SETUP".
 
5) ÔHE DOCUMENTATION IN THE SECOND ARCHIVE IS BROKEN UP INTO SEVEN STANDARD
   ÐÅÔÓÃÉÉ TEXT FILES FOR EASY VIEWING/PRINTING WITH ANY WORD PROCESSOR OR
   SEQUENTIAL FILE PRINTER.  ÎO FORMATTING OR PRINTER CODES ARE PRESENT IN THE
   FILES.  ÔHE TEXT IS READY TO PRINT AS ALL THE NECESSARY SPACING, PAGE BREAKS,   ETC. ARE INCLUDED.
 
   ÂECAUSE NO FORMATTING OR PRINTER CODES ARE INCLUDED, THE MANUAL IS RATHER
   "PLAIN VANILLA".  Á TYPESET AND BOUND VERSION OF THE MANUAL IS AVAILABLE
   IF YOU WOULD LIKE SOMETHING A LITTLE EASIER TO READ.  ÓEND $7.50 (×Á
