Hello people of Kermit Land!
I am looking over the various aspects of Kermit and am having
a difficult time getting a sufficient answer. I have an application
that is embedded that needs to use Kermit as the method of
loading programs into a remote host running OS9. I recently
went to the Columiba site to see what was available there and
found a pre-complied version of kermit for OS9 3.0.3. Imagine
my suprise when I found it to be nearly 500k in size! This is
unacceptable. The "other" end needs to be either a laptop or
a PDA device such as Palm, IPaq, etc... What I need, and I
don't think this is asking too much, is a way to make a small
implementation of Kermit for BOTH ends to do ONE thing,
namely a file transfer to the target machine, no scripting, no
terminal emulation, TCP/IP...just the file transfer over a serial
connection, probably async, 9600 baud N-8-1. Embedding a
small sub-set of functions in a C program (for BOTH ends) is an
acceptable solution but I am not finding answers here either. I
realize that Microware has provided a kermit for the OS9 side
and this is fine but that they got a kermit the size of 15k would
seem to indicate that there is some way to strip things to a
simpler sub-set of the entire package. Any pointers out of this
forest would be greatly appreciated. I have not purchased
any books at this point so maybe diging deeper is the best
approach, RTFM in other words.
