From the Kermit Digest, V20 #1, 25 Aug 94. I don't know if FTIR is the same
as any of the computers listed below, but if it is, you've got your Kermit
program:

Subject: Nicolet NIC-80 Kermit
I have written a Kermit for Nicolet data-processors in the NIC-80 series
(LAB-80, NMR-80, MED-80, BNC-12). Although it provides a relatively simple
implementation of the protocol, it will open up a new dimension to many
enthusiasts for these ancient machines. The main usage in practice is
likely to be in transferring averaged spectra or other data to a mainframe,
workstation or PC for further analysis or for plotting with modern plotting
packages. But the Kermit will, of course, also enable Nicolet users to
exchange programmes and data with each other on a world-wide basis.
To get started there is a choice of two options -
(a) Obtain the sourcecode from Kermit Distribution, type it in, assemble
it, and generate and de-bug the executable programme according to the
instructions, all on the Nicolet.
(The source code is in kermit.columbia.edu:kermit/c/nic*.*.)
(b) Ask me for a copy of the binary. This can be supplied on paper tape;
alternatively, send me a formatted 8-inch floppy, or front-loading
Diablo-30 cartridge, onto which the binary can be stored.
For option (b), there is a $100 handling charge (waived if the applicant
can offer new NIC-80 software of comparable utility in return). Please make
cheques payable to "University of Lancaster".
Once the initial version of the Kermit is installed and running on a given
system, future updates can obviously be received by ftp or e-mail, using the
current Kermit to download them from the receiving machine to the NIC-80 on
which they are to be used.
