READ.ME                OS/2 C-Kermit 5A(190)            October 1994

OS/2 C-Kermit is a powerful, full-function communications software
program for your OS/2 system.  C-Kermit supports serial communications,
automatic dialing, TCP/IP, DECnet/LAT, NETBIOS, and Named Pipes as
communication methods, with VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220, and ANSI
terminal emulation, key mapping, screen rollback, screen copy and
printing, fast and reliable Kermit file transfer, national and
international character-set conversion, and includes a powerful,
easy-to-use script programming language.

  be, in whole or in part, licensed or sold for profit as a software
  product itself, nor may it be included in or distributed with

The above copyright notice also applies to inclusion of C-Kermit on
so-called "freeware" and/or "shareware" CD-ROMs.

Numerous improvements have been made to OS/2 C-Kermit since "Using
C-Kermit" was published.  Be sure to read the CKERMIT.INF file
included on the diskette.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To install C-Kermit 5A(190) on your OS/2 system:

 1. Insert the C-Kermit diskette into a diskette drive.

 2. Click on the diskette icon for that diskette drive.

 3. Click on the INSTALL.CMD file and then answer the
    questions.

Alternatively, from an OS/2 command window, type the command
"a:install" (substitute a different disk letter if necessary).

After installation, you can use C-Kermit by clicking on its desktop
icon or, in a command window, typing "ckermit".

If desired, you can skip the automatic installation procedure and
follow the instructions on pages 421-423 of "Using C-Kermit" (if you
don't have the book, ordering information is given below).  This
gives you a bit more flexibility, but requires that you edit some
files yourself.

WHAT IS ON THE OS/2 C-KERMIT DISTRIBUTION DISKETTE

READ.ME
  This file.

INSTALL.CMD (or CKOINS.CMD)
  OS/2 C-Kermit installation procedure (a REXX program).

CKOKER16.EXE or CKOKER32.EXE
  The OS/2 C-Kermit program, either the 16-bit version or the 32-bit
  version, depending on which one you ordered.  It will be installed
  as CKERMIT.EXE if you use the INSTALL procedure.  The 16-bit
  version should be used on OS/2 1.x.  The 32-bit version should be
  used on OS/2 2.x and Warp.

CKO32I20.DLL - IBM TCP/IP 2.0 32-bit interface
CKO32I12.DLL - IBM TCP/IP 1.2 32-bit interface
CKO16I12.DLL - IBM TCP/IP 1.2 16-bit interface
CKO32F13.DLL - FTP PC/TCP 1.3 32-bit interface
CKO16F13.DLL - FTP PC/TCP 1.3 16-bit interface
  Interface between C-Kermit and your installed TCP/IP software, if
  any: IBM TCP/IP or FTP Software PC/TCP. The FTP DLLs also work
  with Essex Systems TCP/2 and IP-Switch Vantage IP.  The IBM DLLs
  work with other TCP/IP products that are IBM compatible.  The
  appropriate DLL is loaded automatically at runtime.  These files
  must be in your CKERMIT directory, i.e. the directory from which
  C-Kermit is started.

CKOSYSL.CK1 or CKOSYSL.CK2
  SYSLEVEL info for 16-bit and 32-bit versions, respectively.

CKERMIT.CMD
  A sample REXX CMD file for starting OS/2 C-Kermit.  Handled
  automatically by INSTALL.CMD.  Or read and modify to suit your
  requirements.

CKERMIT.ICO
  OS/2 C-Kermit desktop icon.

CKERMIT.INI
  Standard C-Kermit 5A initialization file.  Sets up your dialing
  and services directories, and defines several handy command
  macros.  This is an ordinary text file; it documents itself --
  just read it in a text editor, or print it.

CKERMOD.INI
  Sample C-Kermit 5A customization file, edit to suit your needs.
  NOTE: the INSTALL procedure will modify this file to include your
  preference for port, modem type, and communication speed.  If you
  are installing over a previous C-Kermit version, the install
  procedure skips the questions and leaves this file alone; it also
  leaves your previous dialing and services directory intact rather
  than replacing them with the sample ones from this diskette.

CKERMIT.KDD
  Sample C-Kermit dialing directory file.  Edit this file to include
  the numbers that you actually call.  See pages 50-67 of "Using
  C-Kermit" for complete instructions on dialing.  NOTE: You don't
  need to use the dialing directory in order to make modem calls; it
  is merely a convenience that lets you refer to frequently called
  numbers by name - "dial work" instead of "dial 1 212 555-1234".

CKERMIT.KSD
  Sample C-Kermit services directory file.  This lets you establish
  connections and log in automatically to all sorts of hosts and
  services in a uniform way, no matter what the connection method.
  See Chapter 13 of "Using C-Kermit", and the services directory
  section of CKERMIT.INF.

CKERMIT.INF
  Documentation for the new features added to C-Kermit since "Using
  C-Kermit" was published.  IMPORTANT: the method for key mapping
  is completely different in version 5A(190) from earlier versions.
  The information that was formerly scattered among several
  different files - CKCKER.UPD, CKCKER.BWR, CKOKER.BWR, CKOREXX.DOC,
  CKOEXP.DOC - has been consolidated into this new file and
  converted to INFO format for use with the Information
  Presentation Facility (IPFC) and can be accessed using the OS/2
  VIEW command or, equivalently, via C-Kermit's UPDATES macro,
  which simply runs VIEW on the CKERMIT.INF file.

CKOVTK2.INI
  Sample key settings file to make DEC VT52, VT100, VT102, and VT220
  key assignments for the IBM PC extended (101) keyboard, which,
  among other things, makes the IBM numeric keypad act like the DEC
  VT terminal numeric keypad, Gold key and all.  Tell C-Kermit to
  TAKE this file to make the key assignments.  For a detailed listing
  of the mapping between DEC keys and PC keys, read the CKOVTK2.INI
  file itself (it's an ordinary text file).

EMACSKEY.INI
  Sample key mappings for EMACS and Crisp, using Alt key as Meta key.
  Read this file for further info, edit it to suit your preferences.

XSEND.CMD
  A C-Kermit REXX program to send an entire directory tree from one
  OS/2 system to another, making an exact copy of the directory structure,
  and all the files, including all their attributes.  It can also be used,
  with some restrictions, for sending OS/2 directory trees to DOS or UNIX.
  Read XSEND.CMD for further information.

M2ZMODEM.INI, P101.INI, P200.INI, CEXYZ2.INI
  External XMODEM, YMODEM, YMODEM-G, and ZMODEM protocol
  definitions for M2ZMODEM, P 1.01, P 2.0x, and CEXYZ/2, respectively.
  These are C-Kermit command files; use C-Kermit's TAKE command to
  execute them.  To have one of them in effect whenever you use
  C-Kermit, uncomment the appropriate line in the OS/2 section of
  your CKERMOD.INI file.

CP437.TXT, CP850.TXT, LATIN1.TXT
  Character-set tables for the two common PC code pages used with
  OS/2 for representing West European languages, and the
  corresponding international standard character set.  Use these for
  practice displaying and transferring international text.

DOCUMENTATION

To get the best use out of C-Kermit, please purchase the manual if
you don't already have it.  It gives you step-by-step instructions
and it's also a comprehensive reference.  Manual sales are a
primary source of funding for the Kermit effort.
