- PERQ KERMIT
- -----------
-
-
- The Pascal version of Kermit for RT-11 systems, written at the University of
- Toronto, has been heavily modified for the ICL/Three Rivers PERQ. The
- command parsing has been improved by using the PERQ's parsing routines which
- allow pop-up menus and command files. Binary file transfer has been
- included (but it is rather simple and needs to be improved).
-
- Some features that are to be added in the future are:
-
- . Server commands
- . VT100 emulation during CONNECTS.
- . Pop-up menus for all commands
- (eg. SET --> SPEED --> baud-rates)
- . General code clean up, including faster disk I/O using FileSystem
- routines.
-
- PERQ Kermit commands
- --------------------
-
- CONNECT
-
- Connect the PERQ to another host. This allows you to log into other
- systems.
-
- EXIT
-
- Exit from KERMIT back to the PERQ operating system.
-
- HELP
-
- Print instructions on various commands available in KERMIT.
-
- QUIT
-
- Same as EXIT.
-
- RECEIVE <optional file-name>
-
- Receive a file from the remote host. If an incoming file name is not legal,
- then attempt to transform it to a similar legal name, e.g. by deleting
- illegal or excessive characters. If the file already exists, it will be
- superceded unless WARNING is ON.
-
- SEND <file-specification>
-
- Sends a file from the PERQ to the remote host. The name of the file is
- passed to the remote host in a special control packet, so that the remote
- host can store it with the same name. Wildcards are not yet supported.
-
-
- SET <keyword>
-
- Change various system-dependent parameters. The following features are
- available with the SET command :
-
- SPEED <rate> Change the PERQ's line speed
- DEBUG ON|OFF Print debug information
- ESCAPE <octal> Change the CONNECT escape character
- WARNING ON|OFF Give warning when overwriting existing files
- LOCAL ON|OFF Echo CONNECT typein locally
- VERBOSE ON|OFF Display Kermit's actions
- EIGHT-BIT ON|OFF Allow eight bit file transfer
-
-
- SHOW <keyword>
-
- Display various system-dependent parameters established by the SET command.
- The keyword may be one of the SET keywords or the keyword ALL, which
- displays all of the parameters.
-
- STATISTICS
-
- Display some statistics about Kermit's operations.
-
-
-
-
-
- Kermit files
- ------------
-
- The files are all concatenated together for distribution purposes, separated
- by formfeeds (Control-L), with the file name in a comment at the top of each
- file, for instance
-
- (* <<<Connect232.Pas>>> *)
-
- The files are:
-
- Perq file name Contents
-
- Connect232.Pas Simple terminal emulator
- Kermit.Pas Main program
- KermitError.Pas Error routines
- KermitGlobals.Pas Global variables, etc
- KermitHelp.Pas Help display
- KermitParms.Pas SET/SHOW parameters
- KermitRecv.Pas Receive code
- KermitSend.Pas Send code
- KermitUtils.Pas Utilities
- Stdio.Pas "Standard IO"
