Lots of people, particularly MS-DOS Kermit users, expect to be able to
invoke C-Kermit like this:
kermit command, command, command, ...
But C-Kermit's command-line syntax is different from MS-DOS Kermit's.
Obviously we can't change C-Kermit's command-line syntax because users
depend on it. But we can supply a shim for conversion:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/f/dokermit.c
This is a short and totally portable C program. Compile it and install
the binary somewhere in your PATH and then:
dokermit command, command, command, ...
will invoke C-Kermit as follows:
kermit -C "command, command, command, ..., exit"
and return C-Kermit's exit status.
