- MICROVAX/VMS TK50 KERMIT DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
-
- April 1988
-
- There are two TK50 distribution tapes, TKV1 and TKV2. TKV1 is equivalent
- to Kermit tapes A, B, and E (popular micros - A, popular minis & mainframes -
- B, and online documentation). TKV2 is equivalent to tapes C, D, and E
- (less popular micros, minis & mainframes, plus documentation).
-
- These tapes are readable on MicroVAX/VMS systems with BACKUP (not COPY).
- To read the tape:
-
- 1. SET DEFAULT to the directory under which you want the various Kermit
- subdirectories created.
-
- 2. Physically mount the TK50 cartridge, and type "MOUNT $TAPE1/FOREIGN".
-
- 3. Type "BACKUP/LOG $TAPE1/SAVE [.*]".
-
- After some time has passed -- about 30-60 minutes -- the files should be
- in several subdirectories of your current directory. These subdirectories
- will have names like [KERMIT], [KERMIT-2], [KERMIT-3], etc.
