From: 49405::HEMMINGS "Nicht zwei Worte, wo's mit einem ist getan."

To: MKTUP1::EIBEN
subject: KERMIT OS278
Just a quick note to let you know what the limitations are, with this version.
There are two files to the sources:
K278.PAL ! Main program - essentially the same as PDP8 KERMIT
K278COM.PAL ! Comms handler and OS278 specific routines
To use these sources you may have to take them down to a DECmate using DECdx to
WPS and the OS278 WPFLOP program. Then assemble it with PAL
KERMIT<KERMIT,KERCOM LOAD KERMIT and SAVE SYS: KERMIT in an executable .SV
file. Now you are ready to type:
R KERMIT
1.
Functions supported are:
C[ONNECT] terminal emulator
B[YE] send disconnect message to remote KERMIT
E[XIT] return to OS278
G[ET] get a file or files
S[END] send a file or files
SET[UP] setup terminal characteristics
Use uppercase characters ONLY.
2.
FILES: As it stands KERMIT-OS278 will only send and receive 7 bit ASCII
files. Binaries & 8 bits not handled.
3.
Filenames: KERMIT-OS278 GETs and SENDs files to the default directory
at the remote. The command syntax is
GET [OS278dev]filename.ext
SEND [OS278dev]filename.ext
eg. G RD52:EXAMPLE.PA
Files received from the remote will have their filenames truncated to
six characters with a two character extension.
You can use the * wild card to GET or SEND more than 1 file.
eg. SEND RX50:*.PA
There is more detailed documentation in the sources.
