Subject: Updated installation procedure for CMS Kermit
Date: 20 Sep 1999 16:53:18 GMT

The installation procedure for CMS Kermit-370, IKCINS EXEC contained
in the file IKCKER INS, has been updated to reflect the availability
of the "high level" assembler with recent releases of VM.  Now, if the
EXEC does not find HASM on the system, it looks for ASMA90 and ASMAHL
and uses the first one found as the default assembler for Kermit.  As
before, the installer may override the default with any desired
assembler during installation.

At the same time, the installation procedure no longer treats the
absence of HASM as a signal for the 370-mode-only option that was
offered with CMS release 7.

This update does not make any changes in Kermit itself -- only in the
automated installation procedure.  Other variants of Kermit-370 (such
as TSO) are not affected.

The revised file, like the previous version, is found in the "b" area
of Kermit distribution in all the usual places: ftp from
kermit.columbia.edu, email from [e-mail], tape,
etc.
