This is the Kermit for the Acorn Cambridge Workstation, contributed by Acorn
Computers Ltd. This file is a copy of the Release Notes.
Users of this Kermit mught like to know that it is available on disc from
Acorn at a cost of #50 to cover media and handling.
C-Kermit is a completely new implementation of Kermit, written modularly and
transportably in C. The protocol state transition table is written in wart, a
(non-proprietary) lex-like preprocessor for C. System-dependent primitive func-
tions are isolated into separately compiled modules so that the program should
be easily portable among Unix systems and also to non-Unix systems that have C
compilers. This document applies to Unix implementations of C-Kermit, and in
most ways also to the VMS implementation.
