As part of the C-Kermit 8.0 package (coming soon) we've put together a
first draft of an all-new manual page and tutorial for the Unix version of
C-Kermit. So far it's just in HTML format -- conversion to nroff will be
postponed to the last possible moment. Who knows, maybe an html-to-nroff
and/or html-to-texinfo converter will come to light by then.
We hope the new page is a lot more helpful than the old one. Comments and
suggestions are welcome, but it's already quite long for a Unix man page
and we don't want to make it much longer.
The HTML is rudimentary except it includes some tables. It looks fine
in Netscape and IE versions going back to 2.0; not so great (but still
legible) in Lynx:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckututor.html
A plain-text version (dumped from Netscape) is available here:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/text/ckututor.txt
Maybe there will also be a ckvtutor.html for VMS (which could then be
dumped to plain text and from there converted to VMS Help format), but only
when some VMS fanatic out there takes sufficient umbrage at the fact that
Unix got a tutorial and VMS didn't :-)
