C-KERMIT 6.0 READ.ME September 1996
OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM-INDEPENDENT FILES
C-KERMIT VERSION 6.0.192
Cross-Platform Communications Software
from the Kermit Project at Columbia University
C-Kermit is a combined serial and network communication software package
offering a consistent, medium-independent, cross-platform approach to
connection establishment, terminal sessions, file transfer and management,
character-set translation, and automation of communication tasks. C-Kermit
includes:
. Consistent operation over serial connections (direct or dialed) and network
connections (TCP/IP and in some cases also LAT and X.25) -- on a huge
selection of hardware and software platforms.
. A powerful, portable, easy-to-use script programming language to automate
practically any communication task on any kind of connection.
. Along with MS-DOS Kermit, the fastest and most advanced implementation of
the Kermit file transfer protocol available anywhere.
. Character-set translation in both file transfer and terminal sessions, for
Western- and Eastern-European languages, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Japanese.
For detailed specifications, visit the C-Kermit Web page:

This archive contains all the system-dependent source code, documentation
files, and other text files for C-Kermit 6.0, including documentation for
programmers, initialization and directory files, and user documentation.
This is NOT a complete C-Kermit package. To the files in this archive must
be added the system-dependent source and documentation files for the
particular platform; e.g. ck9*.* for OS-9, ckd*.* for Data General AOS/VS,
etc (see ckaaaa.hlp for a complete list).
