STKERMIT.* Kermit in Software Tools Ratfor
Contributor: Ken Poulton, kdp.HP-LABS@Rand-Relay, ...hplabs!kdp
Authors: Kendall Tidwell & Allen Cole, University of Utah Computer Center,
for Univac 1100/60
Adapted for HP3000 and general distribution by Ken Poulton.
Usage: kermit [r] [s file...]
When Kermit is invoked without arguments it defaults to a Kermit server.
The 's' argument invokes Kermit in the send state and must be followed
by the file(s) that are to be sent. The 'r' puts Kermit in the receive
state. The 'r' option is not necessary since the Kermit server will
handle both sending and receiveing. The Kermit server however, cannot
send more than one file at a time. Thus, when sending more than one
file it may be desireable to use the 's' option.
This kermit does not support terminal emulation.
Installation:
The files are:
STKERMIT.LPT formatted doc (for the 3000 version)
STKERMIT.DOC unformatted doc (for ST 'roff' or 'format')
STKERMIT.W ratfor source (with include files)
The second two are in Tools "ar1" format (the standard distribution
format for Tools).
This is a Remote-Only Kermit (with server mode) written in
Software Tools Ratfor. It is set up for the HP3000, but Univac 1100
localizations are included as well.
Any Software Tools implementor can install this fairly easily on his/her
machine: the machine dependent parts are well flagged and few. Further
versions will be forthcoming, but this should serve for anyone's initial
implementation. Implementors should also pick up the standard Columbia
user's and protocol manuals.
(Note: this version uses the Basic Tape Ratfor preprocessor.
It will have to be passed through ratfix(1) before compilation
using the new two pass preprocessor.)
It should be emphasized that this program relies on the Ratfor
preprocessor and the library and primitive routines supplied with
the Software Tools package. In order to implement this program,
the Software Tools package must be installed first.
Software Tools is a portable package of over 50 license-free programmer's
utilities. Implementations for some machines (including the
machine-dependent primitives and program source tested on that machine)
are public domain; others are sold commercially.
Software Tools implementations are available for nearly any mini-computer
or mainframe in existence. Implementations are also available for
generic operating systems such as CP/M, MS-DOS and Unix.

The HP 3000 package is sold by Terminal Software; it comes with
Kermit compiled and ready to run. Contact:
