CP/M-86 8088-based "native" Rainbow KERMIT, 21 Oct 83, Bill Catchings.
Runs under CP/M-86/80 version 1.0 and 2.0.

Second release: 2 Dec 83 (adds interrupt driven i/o, GET command).
Third release: 19 Dec 83 (corrects problem with RTS and DTR).

The new 8088-based Rainbow KERMIT is a preliminary version -- that means it's
not yet finished.  It has the following restrictions:

. Does not run under MS DOS, never will; IBM PC KERMIT will be adapted.
. Runs up to 9600 baud, not tested at 19200.
. No wildcard SEND yet.
. No local CP/M functions as in KERMIT-80 3.5.
. Some commands differ slightly from KERMIT-80.
. Incoming files with names longer than 8.3 will cause errors.
. All files are sent in full blocks, no SET FILE ASCII yet.  
. Buffer clearing is only done at beginning of transaction, not every packet.
. Packet number display is hex rather than decimal.
. There may be rough edges and bugs here and there.

You should be able to download the program using the old KERMIT on the Z80
side.  The program is stored in the distribution area as RB*.*.  RBKERMIT.CMD
is the executable program.  RBKERMIT.A86 is the hex file (you can use GENCMD on
the Rainbow to build the .CMD file from this).  RB*.A86 are the source modules,
written in Digital Research CP/M-88 assembler and assembled on the Rainbow.

The second release differs from the first release by doing interrupt-driven
port i/o, thus allowing higher baud rates, and by the addition of the GET
command.
