+CPAAAA.HLP 23 April 1991
+
+
+Version 4.11 of Kermit-80 is a development of the previous release 4.09,
+changed to add more features. Much of the system-dependent code is as it
+was in Version 4.09. The names of the files for Version 4.11 follow a fixed
+convention. They all have the form
+
+ CPaxxx.bbb
+
+In these names:
+
+ "a" is one of
+
+ A for general information
+ K for documentation and beware files
+ S for system independent files
+ X for system-dependent source files
+ V for system-dependent hex files
+
+ "xxx" is used to identify unique files used
+
+ "bbb" is the file extention, usually one of:
+
+ ASM for source files
+ HEX for pre-assembled modules or completeprograms (eg
+ LASM.HEX is the assembler)
+ HLP for help files
+ BWR for beware files
+ ANN for notes
+ TXT for pure text files
+ DOC as for TXT
+ MSS SCRIBE sources files (for document files.)
+
+CPKFET.* is a bootstrapping procedure that can be used if you have no other
+way to download the new files.
+
+Version 4.11 may be assembled and linked with LASM and MLOAD, respectively,
+or it may be assembled with the M80 assembler.
+
+It is also possible to assemble the source files on an IBM PC or clone using
+the Z80MU CP/M V2.2 and Z80 emulator, itself running the LASM or M80
+assembler. (Using Z80MU is very useful if your target systems does not have
+enough disk space for all the source files.)
+
+CP/M Kermit Version 4.11 is built from the sources in the same manner as was
+CP/M Kermit Version 4.09. LASM and MLOAD may be found in the Kermit
+distribution.
+
+The M80 assembler is a Microsoft product, and you have to pay good money for
+it.
+
+**Note** The overlay address has been moved to 7000H to make room for the
+added code in this version of CP/M Kermit.
+
+Currently, the code for a number of systems has been upgraded from version
+4.09. The particular system is indicated in filenames by the "xxx" part:
+codes currently in use are:
+
+APP Apple II with Z80 card
+ - with Micromodem in slot 2
+ - with 6551 and 6850 UARTs
+ - with CP Multifunction card
+
+BBI Kaypro, Bigboard, Xerox 820 and Ampro Little Board systems
+
+CIF Cifer 1886 using the VL: or AL ports as TTY:Line. (Use &set
+ to set ttyi: and ttyo: to the VL: or AL:port) Choice of
+ CP/M V2.2 or 3.0 ("PLUS")
+
+HEA Heath systms (Heath 8 with quad IO interface board)
+ Telcon ZORBA
+
+PCW Amstrad PCW 8256 and 8152 as well as CP/M-plus on CPC 6128
+
+NOR Northstar Advantage
+ Northstar Horizon (Several: labels in CPXTYP are:
+ BASICNS
+ NORTHS
+ HORIZON
+ Comart Communicator. This is included as it is somewhat
+ similar to the Northstar Horizon.
+
+TOR Superbrain (Main and Aux port versions.. assumes MicroMods
+ add-ons)
+ Torch systems (runs ok on Unicorn-5 under CP/M)
+ Ithaca Intersystems series machines using the VIO card. (PCI
+ 2651 USARTS)
+ NCR DecisionMate V systems
+
+as well as another half dozen single system only family files. The total
+list of systems supported so far is:
+
+
+System supported in CP/M-80 Kermit V4.11 (and growing!)

+Any comment, suggestions etc send them in. I will not guarentee that your
