none of the other CP/M Kermits work on these machines (at least not
so far) but the problem does appear to be that the program is just
to big.
I just can't believe none of he developers noticed or maybe that
was the point where they all gave up. :-)
Well, there is still the issue of whether it is an incompatability of that
version of Turbo Pascal with your machines, . . .
Are you running with 128K?
On machines that support it, 128K does NOT give you a TPA ("Transient
Program Area") larger than 64K, but it does give it almost 64K.
I wonder how large the TPA is on DOS based CP/M emulators, . . . ?
. . . and, of course, is there somewhere, a pre-compiled version of Kermit
for TRS80 CP/M?
