- Portuguese-Language Kermit Manuals
-
- The files in this area whose names start with PORT are Portuguese language
- translations of Kermit documents. The translator is Ricardo B. Ghirlanda of
- Telecomunicacoes Brasileiras S.A. - TELEBRAS, Brasilia, Brazil (pardon the
- omitted diacritical marks).
-
- PORTUG is the Portuguese User Guide (Fifth Edition).
- PORTPM is the Portuguese Protocol Manual (Fifth Edition).
- PORTTT is a manual describing a Kermit-based file transfer service
-
- The original files were in 8-bit IBM PC WordStar (.WSD) format, which can't
- be included in Kermit distribution. The files of type .HEX are "hexified"
- versions of the WordStar files, which can be dehexified back into the original
- 8-bit WordStar format by a program like the C-language one below. The files of
- type .TXT are 7-bit ASCII files produced from the WordStar files by stripping
- the high-order bit of each 8-bit byte. These are almost readable on a terminal
- or printer; diacritics are mostly done with backspace-overstrike, etc.
-
- Thanks to Mr. Ari Lopes Cunha of Brasilia for submitting this material.
