AAFILES.HLP (July 1993) COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY KERMIT DISTRIBUTION This file explains what files are in the Kermit distribution and gives the naming conventions for them. If you are reading this from a handout supplied with a Kermit distribution tape, please note that this information might not be quite up to date -- there may be files on the tape that are not listed here. The copy of this file, AAFILES.HLP, on the tape might be more current. The directory listing supplied on paper with your tape should reflect exactly which files are on the tape, and in what order. The Kermit distribution areas include all the versions of Kermit which are in our possession. The files have names of the form NAME.TYPE where NAME is the name of file, and TYPE is its type (program source, documentation, executable core image, etc). No NAME is more than 9 characters long, and every NAME starts with a letter and is unique in the first 6 characters. No type is longer than 3 characters. NAME and TYPE are separated by a period. On ANSI and OS format tapes, filenames are uppercase. On UNIX TAR format tapes, filenames are lowercase. * Types The files types don't follow a strict convention because the files originate on so many different systems. But there are some patterns; here are some commonly used file types -- For Text Files: .BLD - Instructions for building .BWR - A "beware" file, listing known bugs, limitations, or other problems .DIF - Differences (produced by file comparison program) .DOC - Documentation (usually long) .HLP - Help message (like DOC but shorter), or a DEC structured help file .INS - Installation instructions .MAN - A manual .MEM - Documentation ("memo") produced by DEC Runoff .MSG - A text or mail message of some kind .MSS - Scribe text formatter source (for some of the .DOC files) .NR - Nroff text formatter source (e.g. for UNIX "man page") .PS - Postscript formatted file, for printing on Postscript printers .RNH - Runoff text formatter source for .HLP files .RNO - Runoff text formatter source for .MEM files .TEX - TeX source .TXT - Text (usually shorter, sometimes in electronic mail message format) .UPD - Program update history For Program Source: .A - Assembler .A68 - Algol-68 .A86 - 8086 assembler .ADA - Ada .ALG - Algol-60 .ASM - Assembler .B - B language .BAS - Basic .BLI - Bliss .C - C language .CLU - CLU language .F - Fortran (Unix) .F77 - Fortran-77 .FOR - Fortran .FTN - Fortran .H - Header file for C or ASM program .H86 - 8086 hexadecimal encoding of object or executable program .LSP - Lisp source code .MAC - Macro assembler .MAR - VAX assembler .PAS - Pascal .PL1 - PL/I .PLC - PL/C .PLI - PL/I .PLM - PL/M .REQ - VAX "require" (header) file .SAI - Sail .SCR - A FORTH "screen" .SRC - Source program For program binaries, note that Kermit programs are never distributed in binary, executable form on tape or over network. Executables, when available, are encoded in one of several 7-bit ASCII printable (textual) formats: .BOO - "boo" format printable encoding of object or executable program .HEX - Hexadecimal encoding of object or executable program (various formats) .HQX - "binhex" encoding of Macintosh application or other file .UUE - A UUENCODE format file, decode with UUDECODE See the installation instructions for the particular version of Kermit for how to decode these files. For System or Command Files: .BAT - A batch control file (e.g. for MS-DOS) .CMD - A command file of some kind .COM - VAX or PDP-11 DCL command file .CTL - A batch control file (e.g. for DEC-10/20) .INI - Initialization command file .JCL - Job control language (e.g. for IBM or Harris) * Prefixed File Names: The file names for files associated with each implementation of Kermit are prefixed by a few characters denoting the implementation. Although the files are kept in separate areas, each prefix is unique among all the Kermit files, so that areas can be combined into a single area without any confusion. The following are presently used, (Items marked with asterisk have fuller explanations below): -- "micros" (tape A) -- APP Apple II DOS 3.3 or ProDos 6502 Assembler *CP 8080,8085,Z80(see below) CP/M-80,CP/M-85 LASM LASM assembler for CP/M MLOAD loader for CP/M *MS Various (see below) MS- or PC-DOS, Windows MASM / C WK IBM PC, etc Windows 3.x Microsoft C 6.0 * See below for notes about MS-DOS and CP/M Kermits. -- "mainframes" (Tape B) -- Prefix Machine(s) Operating System Language *IK0,IKC IBM 370 Series VM/CMS IBM Assembler IK0,IKM IBM 370 Series MUSIC/SP IBM Assembler *IK0,IKT IBM 370 Series MVS/TSO IBM Assembler IK0,IKX IBM 370 Series CICS (MVS or DOS/VSE) IBM Assembler *K11 DEC PDP-11 RSX11,RSTS/E,RT11,TSX MACRO-11 *K11 DEC PDP-11 P/OS, Pro/RT, IAS 3.1 MACRO-11 MP DEC PDP-11 MUMPS (M/11) MUMPS *MX IBM PC family MINIX C *TS2 IBM 370-series/3705 MVS/TSO Pascal/VS,PL/I,etc *TSN IBM 370-series/3705 MVS/TSO Assembler/ALP *VMS VAX VMS Bliss-32 * The K11 files include support for RSX, RSTS, RT11, TSX+, IAS, and P/OS -- See K11INS.DOC for details. * The VAX/VMS Bliss version is obsolete. VMS users (both VAX and Alpha AXP) should now use C-Kermit. * For VM/CMS, please use the IK0*.*/IKC*.* version. This is "portable 370" Kermit, which is a very advanced Kermit implementation. It supports most of the advanced Kermit options (long packets, etc), and both line mode and full screen connections, and replaces the old CMS*.* version. Portable 370 Kermit is also available for MVS/TSO (see next paragraph) CICS, and MUSIC. Support for other IBM mainframe operating systems, such as DOS-4, MTS, and GUTS, should also be easy to add. * Among the MVS/TSO Kermits, you should try the new IK0*.*/IKT*.* version first. This is built from the same "portable 370 Kermit" source as the CMS version, includes all the same advanced capabilities, and replaces the old TSO*.* and TS3*.* versions. The other MVS Kermits include the TSN*.* version from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which has many advanced features, but supports only linemode, not full-screen, connections, and which is very much oriented towards Wylbur, and the Pascal/VS version TS2*.*, which requires a Pascal compiler and supports only linemode connections. * C-Kermit (Prefix CK, It's on its own tape -- F): C-Kermit is a transportable version of Kermit written in the C language. It is composed of many modules, some system-independent, some system-specific. C-Kermit has been implemented on many systems, some "mainframes" and some "micros". In particular, the UNIX version runs on machines ranging from large supercomputers, to IBM mainframes, to VAX and other minicomputers to desktop workstations and PCs, and Kermit programs for the Apple Macintosh, the Commodore Amiga, VAX/VMS and OpenVMS, DG AOS/VS, OS-9/68000, the Atari ST, and other systems can also be generated from C-Kermit. All the C-Kermit source files are kept together on tape F to avoid the problems that would be introduced by splitting up the files or keeping duplicate copies. See the file CKAAAA.HLP for an explanation of the file naming conventions for C-Kermit.

The following .BOO files are provided for current or earlier MS-DOS implementions. BOO files are downloaded and decoded into .EXE files using MSBOOT.FOR on the mainframe and MSBPCB.BAS on the MS-DOS system, or downloaded directly to the PC and translated to .EXE files using MSBPCT.BAS or MSBPCT.EXE (compiled from MSBPCT.C), or MSBPCT.PAS (Turbo Pascal). Some of the MSV*.BOO files correspond to version 2.32 of MS-DOS Kermit, others to 2.31, and still others perhaps even to earlier versions. It depends on which was the latest version successfully tested on that machine. For fallback purposes, BOO files for old releases for some systems may be found in MSO*.BOO. Beta tests of new releases are in MST*.BOO.

Read it! MS*.HLP, MS*.BWR Help and Beware files for specific systems. The IBM version runs on the entire IBM PC and PS/2 families, clones and compatibles (e.g. Dell, Compaq, Gateway), and near-clones like AT&T 6300, DEC VAXmate, the Heath/Zenith 100 with UCI EZPC board, Olivetti M24, Seequa Chameleon, and Data General/1. The generic version (MSVGEN) should run on any MS-DOS system, because it operates using only DOS calls. But this means it runs slowly (usually 1200 baud or less), and does not do terminal emulation. The Tandy, Honeywell, and some other MS-DOS versions listed above under their own prefixes are based on older versions of IBM PC Kermit; these have not been merged with the current MS/PC-DOS version and probably never will be. * WINKERM (Tape A): A version of Kermit specifically tailored for the multitasking Microsoft Windows 3.0 environment, but which lacks most of the features of MS-DOS Kermit (character sets, network support, VT320 emulation, Tektronix emulation, etc). * CP/M-80 Kermit Implementations (Tape A): The following .HEX files for specific CP/M-80 implementations are included: CP*.ASM The current, working source files for CP/M KERMIT.

The bootstrapping program is also stored in the files CPKFET.*. A BASIC program, CPKHEX.BAS, can be used on the CP/M system to verify and edit a downloaded hex file prior to loading. * CP/M-86 Kermit Implementations (Tape C): The CP/M-86 Kermit file names all start with C86. Those whose fourth character is X are system-dependent files for particular systems: C86XAP NEC APC C86XFJ Fujitsu Micro 16s C86XFU Future FX20/FX30 C86XRB DEC Rainbow, CP/M-86/80 V2 (C86XR2 is an alternate version) C86XTX Tektronix 4170 C86XV9 Victor 9000/Sirius 1 The .H86 files are hex files, convertible to runnable .CMD files by running them through GENCMD on the micro. There's also a Concurrent CP/M-86 version under the prefix CN8 (on Tape C). * Other Files (All tapes): AAAREAD.ME is a file that describes some other files which can help you find your way among the hundreds of Kermit files. AAFILES.HLP is this file. AATAPE.HLP explains the format and layout of Kermit tapes. AAXFLY.DOC is the Kermit "brochure" and order form. AAVNEW.HLP is a list of the current versions of Kermit in reverse chronological order, to help you see what has changed since the last time you looked. AAWAIT.HLP is a list of Kermit versions reportedly under development, for which we are still waiting. AAXCOM.HLP is a policy statement concerning commercial use of Kermit. AABLIND.HLP is a list of hints for use of Kermit, and microcomputers in general, by the blind or people with other disabilities. * Other Tools LASM and MLOAD are the public-domain CP/M-80 linking assembler and loader, that run on the CP/M system, and may be used to build Kermit-80. Tape A. XXU.C is a program for use on Unix systems that renames files with "foreign" names (e.g. uppercase, or including directory or path information, generation numbers, etc), to have normal Unix-style names. Tapes E and F. APXA*.* is a program written in C that does what CROSS does, but only produces 6502 output (CROSS can produce many formats). This program can assemble Apple DOS Kermit (APPLEK.M65). (Actually, there might be minor differences in syntax, like whether or not a colon is required after a label...) Tape A. * Finally... If you make any significant modifications to Kermit, fix any major bugs, or write any new implementations or documentation, please send them back to us on magnetic tape (or IBM PC DOS format diskettes) so we can distribute them to other Kermit users: Kermit Distribution Columbia University Academic Information Systems 612 West 115th Street New York, NY 10025 We'll return your tapes back to you with the latest Kermit distribution (if you send full-size reels). Specify format and tape selection according the Kermit order form (copy in AAXFLY.DOC).
