--- Kermit-MGlobal Documentation 4/24/90 ---
The two files, ZKR.ROU and ZKRX.GLB, contain routines and globals for
running Kermit under CCSM. Kermit is a file transfer protocol designed
originally at Columbia University for transfer of files among a wide variety
of hardware and operating systems. It is rather slow but very general purpose.
Kermit-M was developed at Cornell School of Veterinary Medicine to run
under Intersystems' M/11 operating system for PDP-11s. I have adapted
Kermit-M to work with CCSM under MS-DOS.
The major enhancement of this version of Kermit-MGlobal is the ability
to transfer MS-DOS binary files from within the MUMPS environment. By binary
file, I mean any MS-DOS file. I have used this version of Kermit-MGlobal to
transfer an updated version of MUMPS.EXE from one computer to another via
modem!
In addition, Kermit-MGlobal allows transfer of MUMPS routines, MUMPS
globals, and MS-DOS ASCII (sequential text) files, bi-directionally.
Help is available in Kermit-MGlobal as well.
To load Kermit-MGlobal:
Restore the routines in ZKR.ROU by running ^%RRMMR. There is one system
routine, ^%ROU, which establishes a routine directory in ^UTILITY("ROU",
and is used by Kermit-MGlobal.
Restore the globals in ZKRX.GLB by running ^%GI (found in ZKR.ROU).
Enter Kermit-MGlobal by typing
D ^ZKR
at any direct (programmer mode) prompt.
Kermit-M will respond by displaying
Kermit-M>
You may ask for help by entering HELP.
Certain default settings for baud rate, stop bits, parity, etc. are
in file ZKRUP after INITPAR. You can change some of these defaults from
Kermit's command prompt.
A typical session with Kermit-M will look like this (comments in curly
braces):
D ^ZKR {invoke Kermit}
Kermit-M>SET LINE 8 {use device 8}
Kermit-M>SET BAUD 2400 {set baud rate}
Kermit-M>CONNECT {connect to device 8}
You are now connected to the other computer. You may return to your current
computer by typing Ctrl-Y and C.
ATDT555-1212 {dial remote computer}
CONNECT 2400 {response from remote}
^C {you typed Ctrl-C; this is not actually displayed}
WELCOME TO CCSM V. 4.93 LINE #9 {reply from remote site}
D ^ZKR {start up Kermit-M at remote site}
Kermit-M>REC {tell remote site to receive files}
starting RECEIVE command... {remote site ready to receive}
^YC {Type Ctrl-Y followed by C to escape back to local}
You are now back in local mode. You still own the line.
Kermit-M>SEND *.* {Send all Kermit-M files to remote site}
Sending file ZKR.MMP...
and so forth. Kermit-M contains a complete directory structure. Routines,
globals, ASCII text files, and binary files are moved in and out of the
directory structure with a series of commands that begin by entering "MUMPS"
at the Kermit-M prompt.
Kermit-M understands abbreviations. You need not type "SET LINE 8";
"SET LI 8" will do as well, although SE LINE 8 will fail because SE can
abbreviate either SEND or SET, both legal Kermit-M directives. A complete
list of Kermit-M directives can be obtained by typing HELP at the Kermit-M
prompt.
Please direct any questions on the use of Kermit-MGlobal to the bulletin
board.
