- The NIH version of TSO Kermit is an extensive modification and rewrite of the
- University of Chicago TSO Kermit, which in turn was based on an early CMS Kermit
- developed at Columbia University. The external design was done by Roger Fajman
- and Dale Wright. The internal design and programming was done by Dale Wright.
- Questions should be addressed to Roger Fajman at

- The distribution consists of the following data sets. All are in card image
- format (RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=11440) on tape unless otherwise stated.
-
- No. Name Description
- --- ---- -----------
- 1 TSNKER.TXT These installation instructions.
-
- 2 TSNKER.BWR Beware file -- bugs, cautions, etc.
-
- 3 TSNKER.DOC User documentation. (RECFM=FB, LRECL=84, BLKSIZE=11424)
-
- 4 TSNKER.HLP TSO HELP information for Kermit
-
- 5 TSNUNH.ASM Source for the UNHEX program that converts the object decks
- from printable hex characters back to their normal binary
- form. The object decks are provided in hex form in order
- to facilitate transmission through networks. UNHEX accepts
- card image (RECFM=FB, LRECL=80) input from the DDNAME INPUT
- and writes card image output to the DDNAME OUTPUT. The
- output BLKSIZE must be specified in the DD statement. If a
- non-null PARM field is specified, UNHEX removes IEBUPDTE ./
- control cards from the output.
-
- 6 TSNKER.OBH Object decks for TSO Kermit and support subroutines in hex
- form. This data set should be passed through the UNHEX
- program. It may then be used as input to IEBUPDTE to
- create the TSNKER.OBJ PDS. Alternatively, a non-null PARM
- may be specified to UNHEX and the output passed directly to
- the linkage editor.
-
- 7 TSNTBL.ASM Source for the module that contains the ASCII-EBCDIC trans-
- late tables, plus a few subroutines entered to define
- installation-dependent values. This module should be
- modified as needed and linked with the provided object
- decks.
-
- 8 TSNKER.JCL JCL to perform the installation procedure.
-
- The following data sets are needed only if you wish to recompile NIH TSO Kermit.
-
- No. Name Description
- --- ---- -----------
- 9 TSNKER.ALP Source for NIH TSO Kermit in ALP (Assembly Language
- Preprocessor). Note: source for the support subroutines
- is omitted for the sake of brevity, but can be made avail-
- able if needed.
-
- 10 TSNEDR.DOC Documentation for the Edit Format Utility Package -- de-
- scribes the support subroutines used by NIH TSO Kermit.
- (RECFM=FB, LRECL=84, BLKSIZE=11424)
-
- 11 TSNMAC.DOC Documentation for macros that are used in TSO Kermit.
-
- 12 TSNHEX.ASM Source for the HEX program that was used to convert the
- object decks to printable hex characters. HEX accepts card
- image (RECFM=FB, LRECL=80) input from the DDNAME INPUT and
- writes card image output to the DDNAME OUTPUT. The output
- BLKSIZE must be specified in the DD statement. IEBUPDTE ./
- control cards are passed through unchanged. If a non-null
- PARM field is specified, SYM cards (generated by the TEST
- option of the assember) are removed from the object decks.
-
- 13 TSNALP.TXT Installation instructions for ALP.
-
- 14 TSNALP.DOC User documentation for ALP.
-
- 15 TSNTST.ALP Test program for ALP.
-
- 16 TSNALP.PLI Source for ALP.
-
- 17 TSNPST.PLI Source for the ALP Post-Processor.
-
- 18 TSNMAC.ALP Source for the macro library used with ALP. Passed first
- through ALP and then to IEBUPTDE.
-
- 19 TSNPCH.ASM Source for an assembler program that links first to ALP,
- then to Assembler H, and then to the post processor.
-
- 20 TSNPCX.ASM Same as above, but for Assembler FX.
-
- 21 TSNALP.JCL JCL cataloged procedures for ALP.

-
- The installation process consists of the following steps:
-
- (1) Modify the translate table module as needed for your installation and
- assemble it. The ASCII-EBCDIC tables will almost certainly need to be
- modified -- they must match your installations TSO translate tables in
- order for TSO Kermit to be able to transfer files. The other items may or
- may not need to be changed.
-
- (2) Convert the hex form of the object decks to binary form.
-
- (3) Link the converted object decks with the object deck of the table module.
- Place the resulting load module into a library from which it can be
- invoked as a TSO command processor.
-
- The TSNKER.JCL file contains a batch job that performs steps 2 and 3.
