AAAREAD.ME -- Brief Guide to Kermit Files, November 1994
File names all start with letters and are of the form "name.type", and will
normally appear in alphabetical order in a directory listing or on a tape.
Files whose names start with "aa" (like this one) -- normally appearing at
the top of a directory listing -- give general information about Kermit.
Kermit programs are stored in the Kermit distribution areas with related
files grouped together using filename prefixes; the names of all the files
for a certain implementation all start with the same 2- or 3-character
prefix, for instance all the files for MS-DOS Kermit have names starting
with "ms", the files names for C-Kermit all start with "ck".
The following file describes what's available in the Kermit distribution:
aafiles.hlp - Explanation of what files are available and how they are named.
Files whose names start with AAV are brief, complete lists of existing,
available Kermit versions, sorted in various ways:
aavers.hlp -- Master list, in no particular order
aavnew.hlp -- Listed in reverse chronological order of release date
aavops.hlp -- Listed alphabetically by operating system only
aavpfx.hlp -- Listed alphabetically by prefix, regardless of tape
aavsys.hlp -- Listed alphabetically by machine and operating system
aavtap.hlp -- Listed by tape (A,B,C,D,E), then alphabetically by file prefix
And finally there are some bureaucratic files, whose names start with AAX:
aaxfly.doc -- The Kermit flyer and mail-order form.
aaxcom.doc -- The policy on commercial use and distribution of Kermit.
