Platforms

These are the builds that have been done on the current code base, C-Kermit 9.0.299 Alpha.01 and later. Many others were done previously (see next section) but I don't have access to all of those platforms any more.

*	NOUUCP is included in the Mac OS X builds by popular demand; click HERE for details. To include UUCP (lockfiles and all the rest) in the Mac OS X version use "make macosx -UNOUUCP".
**	Macintosh Intel hardware is x86_64. Mac OS X 10.4 was the first to support this platform. However, 10.4 and 10.5 treat it (by default) as as a 32-bit i386. 10.6 is the first to take full advantage of its 64-bit personality.
***	Linux and probably most other Kerberos 5 builds need KFLAGS=-DNO_KRB5_INIT_ETS on the command line. I probably should just make this the default.
&dagger	If @ckvker.com ifo "" "CK_SSL" gives %CC-W-MACROREDEF complaints for des_cblock and des_key_schedule use @ckvker.com ifo "" "CK_SSL,OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT".
†&dagger	The "f" option is a no-op on the VAX, where the C runtime system lacks the underlying long integer support.

Large Files

Entries in Yellow (32-bit builds that support 64-bit integers) and Green (64-bit builds) support large files.

*

At the RMS level, VMS has always supported file sizes up to 1TB (512 bytes/block × 2G blocks), but the C run-time library deals in bytes, and it was restricted to 32-bit (usually signed) size values. On non-VAX architectures, VMS V7.2 added 64-bit file size/offset values to the C RTL (enabled by the _LARGEFILE macro in <decc$types.h>). C-Kermit 9.0 can be built with the "f" option to try to enable large files, but the results will probably depend on the VMS version and the C compiler and runtime version. Details to come.

**

Kermit 95 for Windows is a member of the C-Kermit family and shares most of the same code. So far Kermit 95 has not yet been adapted for large files. HOWEVER, it seems K95 2.1.3 can send and receive large files successfully, even though the numbers shown on the file-transfer display are wrong, as is the progress bar, because it does not support long integers (this was confirmed with a 4.3GB file, whose size requires more than 32 bits to express).

No information yet for anything else not mentioned above.
