- This is to announce a version of Kermit for the CIE 680/XX microcomputer,
- contributed by David S. Lawyer of the University of California at Irvine.
- This program is only a stopgap measure until a later version of Kermit (the
- so called C-Kermit for example) can be ported to the CIE. One exception to
- this may be for CIE's which only have 256K of RAM. Since this kermit code
- (when compiled) is much shorter than the C-Kermit, it will run well on
- computers with limited RAM memory. This Kermit represents a modification to
- the "UNIX Kermit" of 1981-1983.
-
- NOTE TO NON-UCI USERS: UCI= The University of California at Irvine.
- This Kermit program was developed for use at UCI and may not work as well
- elsewhere without additional modifications.
-
- The program named kerm (source code kerm.c in the C language) is a program
- modified at UCI for use on the CIE computer which adheres to the Kermit
- protocols. You may use Kermit to connect to a remote host, and then log on
- to it using the connect command. Then you may either: use your CIE like a
- fairly dumb terminal connected to the remote (i.e. have a session on the
- remote computer) or utilize both the CIE Kermit and the Kermit on the remote
- to transmit files between the remote and the CIE.
-
- For the purposes of Kermit distribution, the numerous files have been packed
- together into four large files, CIE680.C, CIE680.ANN and CIE680.BWR
- CIE680.HLP -- source, this message, a beware file and limited documentation,
- respectively. Each file-within-a-file starts with a line of the form
-
- <<< name >>>
-
- in which "name" is the actual name of the original file. The files are
- available in KER:CIE680.* on CU20B, and as CIE680 * from KERMSRV at CUVMA on
- BITNET.
