The following note describes an OS/2 Presentation Manager
version of Kermit. The filenames have been changed to fit into
the Kermit Distribution library as follows:
Original Name Kermit Distribution Comments
PCKERMIT.EXE O2AKER.EXE Executable program (binary)
O2AKER.BOO Executable program ("boo" encoding)
PCKERMIT.ICO O2AKER.ICO Binary program icon
O2AICO.BOO Icon ("boo" encoding)
Source files: O2ASRC.JAR All source files together in one file
See the "boo" directory in the Kermit archive for information about,
and programs for, decoding BOO files back into executable binaries.

Porting to PM -- A Kermit for OS/2
-----------------------------------------------------------
The version of Kermit contained herein is for OS/2-PM.
It was written from scratch by the author (Brian R. Anderson)
in Stony Brook Professional Modula-2. A two part article
in the September/October 1990 issues of Dr. Dobb's Journal
describe this implementation (which is a port of an earlier
program that I wrote for DOS in Logitech Modula-2).
This program is public domain, and may be copied freely,
modified/enhanced, and distributed freely (in original or
enhanced form).
Included on the disk are an executable version of the
program (PCKERMIT.EXE); 17 Modula-2 source code files
(8 .DEF and 9 .MOD); icon and resource files; make and linker
response files, and the EXE definition file. To recompile
the program: M2MAKE PCKERMIT <cr>
I have used this Kermit implementation as the starting
point for a program that will be sold commercially. The
introductory price is a very reasonable $30 (plus $5 shipping
and handling). So far, the commercial version (which is called
KXCom) includes the following features (* = new to KXCom):
Kermit single and multiple file transfer
TVI950 Terminal Emulation (optimized for IBM7171/PROFS)
Automatic renaming of files in case of name clash
Continuous display of communications settings
* XMODEM single and multiple file transfer
* VT100 Terminal Emulation
* Integrated Dialing Directory (supports Hayes SmartMODEM)
* Configuration information saved/restored automatically
* "Nicer" user interface for file transfer
* Continuous time display
* Windowed command shell to operating system
* Typeset and illustrated 36 page users manual
