Subject: name & end-of-line for a script file

To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
Although my KTFC scripts have been developed
with MS-DOS Kermit they should eventually work
with Kermit 95 and C-Kermit, subject to
translation of the end-of-line notation from
<cr><lf> to <lf>.
This question is better dealt with now rather
than later.
I would like recommendations on script file name
conventions and whether separate script sets are
necessary for C-Kermit, K 95 and MS-DOS Kermit.
Separate DOS and Unix script sets can be
maintained with upper case names for DOS and lc
for Unix but maintenance of multiple concurrent
variations is time consuming as you know too
well.
The 8.3 limitation of DOS file names is easy to
live with but all upper case is ugly and
bothersome to type in Unix. Commonly in Unix,
file names are all lower case and DOS tolerates
that. There is also the nice Pascal convention
of capitalizing the first letter of each word.
If a single script set is acceptable, what is
the recommended pattern for file names?
Thanks, peter_easthope@gulfnet.pinc.com
