This  is  a  new version ( Version 2.1) of KERMIT for CPM-86.  It has major
improvements compared to version 0.0 and 0.1 , the original version by Bill
Catchings.  It supports wild-carding from CPM-86 , and fixes  a  couple  of
other problems encountered.  As a major advancement it supports (set NECAPC
to  TRUE  in  86KERMIT.A86) the NEC Advanced Personal Computer - aside from
the DEC Rainbow (set RAINBO to TRUE in 86KERMIT.A86).  All needed files are
called 86*.A86 - and will assemble  under  ASM86  with  the  command  ASM86
86KERMIT  $PZ  ,  followed  by  GENCMD  86KERMIT.   You  might  want to REN
KERMIT.CMD=86KERMIT.CMD after You  made  sure,  that  this  86KERMIT  is  a
"KERMIT"  as  one knows them.  Over here we keep RBKERMIT.CMD /RBKERMIT.H86
as the RAINBOW-KERMIT and APCKERMIT.CMD / APCKERMIT.H86 as the NEC-Advanced
Personal Computer KERMIT.

The  next  version will have to re-arrange Error-Messages, Command-Tables ,
Version-Header etc into the I/O module to make it possible to  "move"  this
version  over  to  another  micro  by  "touching" only one module - the I/O
module which by its nature is system-dependent.
