PERQ KERMIT
-----------
The Pascal version of Kermit for RT-11 systems, written at the University of
Toronto, has been heavily modified for the ICL/Three Rivers PERQ. The
command parsing has been improved by using the PERQ's parsing routines which
allow pop-up menus and command files. Binary file transfer has been
included (but it is rather simple and needs to be improved).
Some features that are to be added in the future are:
. Server commands
. VT100 emulation during CONNECTS.
. Pop-up menus for all commands
(eg. SET --> SPEED --> baud-rates)
. General code clean up, including faster disk I/O using FileSystem
routines.
PERQ Kermit commands
--------------------
CONNECT
Connect the PERQ to another host. This allows you to log into other
systems.
EXIT
Exit from KERMIT back to the PERQ operating system.
HELP
Print instructions on various commands available in KERMIT.
QUIT
Same as EXIT.
RECEIVE <optional file-name>
Receive a file from the remote host. If an incoming file name is not legal,
then attempt to transform it to a similar legal name, e.g. by deleting
illegal or excessive characters. If the file already exists, it will be
superceded unless WARNING is ON.
SEND <file-specification>
Sends a file from the PERQ to the remote host. The name of the file is
passed to the remote host in a special control packet, so that the remote
host can store it with the same name. Wildcards are not yet supported.
SET <keyword>
Change various system-dependent parameters. The following features are
available with the SET command :
SPEED <rate> Change the PERQ's line speed
DEBUG ON|OFF Print debug information
ESCAPE <octal> Change the CONNECT escape character
WARNING ON|OFF Give warning when overwriting existing files
LOCAL ON|OFF Echo CONNECT typein locally
VERBOSE ON|OFF Display Kermit's actions
EIGHT-BIT ON|OFF Allow eight bit file transfer
SHOW <keyword>
Display various system-dependent parameters established by the SET command.
The keyword may be one of the SET keywords or the keyword ALL, which
displays all of the parameters.
STATISTICS
Display some statistics about Kermit's operations.
Kermit files
------------
The files are all concatenated together for distribution purposes, separated
by formfeeds (Control-L), with the file name in a comment at the top of each
file, for instance
(* <<<Connect232.Pas>>> *)
The files are:
Perq file name Contents
Connect232.Pas Simple terminal emulator
Kermit.Pas Main program
KermitError.Pas Error routines
KermitGlobals.Pas Global variables, etc
KermitHelp.Pas Help display
KermitParms.Pas SET/SHOW parameters
KermitRecv.Pas Receive code
KermitSend.Pas Send code
KermitUtils.Pas Utilities
Stdio.Pas "Standard IO"
