I am using MS-DOS Kermit (v3.14 patch level 8) to dial into a Sun
(running Solaris 2.3) where I run C-Kermit 5A(190). On the remote side
(i.e. the Sun) I "take" the following command file...
open write kermit.log
apc assign \\%a \\fsize(kermit.exe)
apc server
remote query user \%a
write file {Size of kermit.exe is \v(query)\10}
remote assign \%b \\fsize(kermit.exe)
remote query user \%b
write file {Size of kermit.exe is \v(query)\10}
finish
close write
It produces the following kermit.log file...
Size of kermit.exe is 230400
Size of kermit.exe is \fsize(kermit.exe)
The first line is the result from the apc assign and remote query. This
is the result I want to obtain. The only problem is that if I want to do
this for a number of files I have to go in and out of server mode a
number of times or do all of my apc assign's beforehand. Another
problem is that I would like to have the PC run KERLITE.EXE which has no
terminal emulator and therefore can't take apc commands at all!
Is there a way to get remote assign to behave like apc assign? I have
tried 'remote kermit assign \\%c \\fsize(kermit.exe)', but that doesn't
seem to work at all. In fact, I must misunderstand remote kermit
altogether because I can't figure out what it does or how it's used. I
have the C-Kermit manual (but not the MS-DOS manual), which briefly
explains the remote kermit command on page 146, but I still don't get
it. To top it off, when I put C-Kermit into server mode it doesn't
appear to support 'remote kermit' at all!
Any and help on this matter greatly appreciated!
