  25. That's an ancient Kermit program that goes back to OS-9/6809 days.
  26. (I worked on the 6809 version about fifteen years ago.)  I think that
  27. it was a port of an old Unix Kermit program...but more to the point:
  28.  
  29. 1. Try kermit si /hard/export/image.i1
  30. 2. Make a point of getting the OS-9 version of C Kermit; Kermit has
  31.    improved enormously in the past fifteen years, and you will get
  32.    far better performance and help messages.
  33.  
  34. I personally recommend highly the books on Kermit, *Kermit: a file
  35. transfer protocol* and *Using C Kermit*.  The former book predates
  36. many improvements in Kermit, but it explains the protocol (and some
  37. of the highly convoluted aspects of serial data communications that
  38. Kermit is designed to deal with) well and entertainingly; the latter
  39. book covers C Kermit in great detail.
