Hello all,
I don't usually frequent this newsgroup, but I am in need of some assistance.
My wife has been asked to write a quick-n-dirty implementation of a Kermit file
transfer for the PC, in MSDOS, for her comm class at school. We don't need an
executable, we don't need source code, but the idea is that we (Ok, "she") would
write it herself. It's a major class project and she's asked me to help.
We've been searching the web for specs and can't seem to find any. I've seen
posted that various *source code* listings are not in the public domain, and
we've seen plenty books for sale, but we're amazed that we can't seem to find a
fairly low-level description of what goes on inside a Kermit file transfer. X,
Y, and ZModem all seem to be available, but we need Kermit file xfer specs.
If anyone can point us in the right direction, that would be great!
Please e-mail me at the address listed below if you can help or straighten me
out as to the ownership and legalities of what I ask. Thanks a bunch!
Jeff
