Subject: Hi - Calling kermit 95 or 314 from another program - Help?
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 14:49:08 +0100

Hi - because my customer has some special requirements, I have to write a
program (VB5) to dial and negotiate the login protocol - this has been done.
The problem is in trying to execute kermit send and get commands to the VAX
VMS Ckermit server.
I have tried using several comms libraries but they seem to do a receive not
a get - at least it doesn't work. I can do it easily in Kermit95 or 314.
So noting Franks recent comments and his web page (and three of his books
which I have already purchased)
It would appear that I should be able to establish the connection and then
shell to kermit so do the transfer.
The problem - kermit says port is busy if I establish connection with TAPI
If I establish call with mscomm active control in VB5 and set kermit port to
same baud/data/start and all that stuff and do a get *.* in the kermit ini
file - it just sits there..........
Any clues (Im sure I will get there but and time saving help would be
greatly appreciated) ?
Does anyone know of any libraries that will do a GET~??
Thanks for any help
