- KERMIT C-64, v1.5a
-
- KERMIT is a protocol for transferring files between different
- computers. This KERMIT program was written in the FORTH language, for
- a Commodore C64 computer with a Commodore 1541 disk drive (device 8)
- and a Commodore 1600 modem on the RS-232 port (device 2). Other
- drives and modems may work if they use the same device numbers. The
- program itself uses about 30K; disk buffers for "save" and "help"
- commands extend downward from $9FFF; and there are scratch string
- areas in $CB00-$CFFF. This program has been tested only under limited
- conditions. It has been run at 300 and 1200 baud, but the nature of the
- interrupt-driven RS-232 interface suggests that even 2400 baud
- should work without loss of data, though perhaps not at the efficiency
- of a machine-language program. Multiple-file transfers with wild-card
- construction cause some problems in the transfer of filenames from
- Kermit-20.

- The "help" files, named scr96, scr97 and scr98, give details of
- this program's special characteristics. Several special features
