- C-KERMIT FILES FOR VMS AND OPENVMS
-
-
- All files for VMS C-Kermit have names beginning with CK. Those particular
- to VMS begin with CKV. Those that VMS C-Kermit share in common with other
- C-Kermit implementations begin with CKC or CKU. When retrieving these files
- via ftp from kermit.columbia.edu (watsun.cc.columbia.edu), which is a UNIX
- system, use only lowercase letters in filenames.

- VMS C-Kermit Files:
-
- CKVAAA.HLP - This file.
-
- CKVINS.DOC - VMS C-Kermit installation instructions.
-
- CKVKER.HLP - Help file for VMS C-Kermit, to be installed in the system
- HELP library.
-
- CKCKER.UPD - Updates to C-Kermit since "Using C-Kermit was published.
-
- CKCKER.BWR - General C-Kermit "Beware file"
-
- CKVKER.BWR - VMS-specific C-Kermit "Beware File"
-
- CKVKER.HEX - A hexified version of C-Kermit for VAX/VMS that can be decoded
- back into an .EXE file using the CKVDEH program. This version was built with
- no network support under VAX/VMS 5.5-1 and should run on (Open)VMS
- 5-point-anything.
-
- NOTE: All CKV*.HEX files are text files composed only of 7-bit ASCII
- printable characters, arranged in lines, suitable for BITNET transfers,
- e-mail, etc. They are to be decoded back into their original VMS form
- with the CKVDEH program, which is available for both VAX and AXP.
- For details, please read the CKVDEH.HLP file.
-
- CKVAXP.HEX - A hexified version of C-Kermit for OpenVMS AXP. This version was
- built with no network support under OpenVMS AXP 1.0 or 1.5.
-
- CKVVUCX.HEX - A hexified version of C-Kermit for VAX/VMS 5.x with DEC TCP/IP
- (UCX) network support. It should also be possible to use this one on a
- MultiNet system.
-
- CKVVTGV.HEX - A hexified version of C-Kermit for VAX/VMS 5.x with TGV MultiNet
- network support.
-
- CKVVWIN.HEX - A hexified version of C-Kermit for VAX/VMS 5.x with Wollongong
- WIN/TCP network support.
-
- CKVAUCX.HEX - A hexified version of C-Kermit for OpenVMS AXP 1.x with DEC
- TCP/IP (UCX) network support. It should also be possible to use this one on
- a MultiNet AXP VMS system if CKVATGV.HEX is not available.
-
- CKVATGV.HEX - (not yet available)
-
- CKVAWIN.HEX - (not yet available)
-
- CKVHEX.MAR - A VAX assembly language program for converting VMS .EXE files
- (or any other type of file) into a printable text "hex" file suitable for
- transmission via text-oriented media.
-
- CKVDEH.MAR - A VAX assembly language program for converting a .HEX file built
- with the CKVHEX program back into its original form.
-
- CKVDEH.HLP - Help text for CKVHEX and CKVDEH, including build instructions.
-
-
- Files for building C-Kermit for VMS:
-
- CKVKER.COM - A DCL procedure for building C-Kermit from the source files.
- This procedure compiles all modules unconditionally. WARNING: This module
- is generated automatically from CKVKER.MAK via:
-
- $ MAKE/KEEP/NOEXECUTE/FORCE/OUT=CKVKER.COM
-
- CKVKER.MAK - A makefile used with VMS MAKE (supplied along with C-Kermit
- as CKVMAK.*, see below) to build C-Kermit from the source files. Must be
- renamed to "MAKEFILE." before use.
-
- CKVMAK.HEX - Source, documentation, and executable for VMS MAKE itself, for
- the VAX only. This is a BACKUP saveset encoded as a printable ASCII text
- file using the CKVHEX program. This software is freely distributable for
- noncommercial purposes (see copyright notice in CKVMAK.HLP).
-
- CKVMAK.HLP - Instructions for unpacking and installation of VMS MAKE.
-
- NOTE: A newer version of VMS MAKE that also runs on the Alpha
- AXP can be obtained in source-code form via anonymous ftp from
- kermit.columbia.edu in the vms-make directory.
-
- CKVKER.MMS - An obsolete, not recommended MMS build procedure. Rename this
- file to DESCRIP.MMS and then run MMS. It has been noted, however, that this
- is the only one that produces successful linking of the UCX version on an
- Alpha AXP (HINT: build with CKVKER.COM, link step will fail, then run MMS to
- do the linking).
-
- Read CKVINS.DOC for detailed installation instructions.
-
-
- C-Kermit Source Files:
-
- CKVCON.C - The VMS C-Kermit CONNECT command.
-
- CKVFIO.C - VMS system-specific file i/o module for C-Kermit.
-
- CKVTIO.C - VMS system-specific communications i/o module for C-Kermit.
-
- CKVIOC.H - ioctl simulation for VMS, needed with DEC TCP/IP product.
- CKVIOC.C
-
- CKVVMS.H - Header file used by VMS C-Kermit source files.
-
- CKVCVT.C - A standalone program for decoding labeled files sent to VMS, to
- be replaced eventually by code within C-Kermit itself.
-
- CKVCVT.COM - DCL procedure for building the CKVCVT program.
-
- CKVCVT.HEX - Hexified VAX binary for CKCVT.
- CKVACVT.HEX - Hexified Alpha AXP binary for CKCVT.
-
-
- Of course, you also need the non-VMS-specific C-Kermit files too:
-
- CKC*.C, CKC*.H, CKU*.C, CKU*.H, CKCPRO.W, CKWART.C.
