Doesn't matter. Do you have a C compiler on it? If so:
. This would be very helpful to us because until now we have not
found a VMS 1.x build site for recent C-Kermit releases.
If not:
. You can download a prebuilt C-Kermit 6.0-for-VMS/Alpha-1.x binary
from the aforementioned site.
C-Kermit is fully scriptable, but not the way you think. C-Kermit itself
has its own script language, which it executes directly (e.g. from a
command file), as opposed to writing DCL command procedures to stuff
commands into its command processor. See the examples in Section 2 of:
