This is to announce a version of Kermit for the CIE 680/XX microcomputer,
contributed by David S. Lawyer of the University of California at Irvine.
This program is only a stopgap measure until a later version of Kermit (the
so called C-Kermit for example) can be ported to the CIE.  One exception to
this may be for CIE's which only have 256K of RAM.  Since this kermit code
(when compiled) is much shorter than the C-Kermit, it will run well on
computers with limited RAM memory.  This Kermit represents a modification to
the "UNIX Kermit" of 1981-1983.

NOTE TO NON-UCI USERS:  UCI= The University of California at Irvine.
This Kermit program was developed for use at UCI and may not work as well
elsewhere without additional modifications.

The program named kerm (source code kerm.c in the C language) is a program
modified at UCI for use on the CIE computer which adheres to the Kermit
protocols.  You may use Kermit to connect to a remote host, and then log on
to it using the connect command.  Then you may either: use your CIE like a
fairly dumb terminal connected to the remote (i.e. have a session on the
remote computer) or utilize both the CIE Kermit and the Kermit on the remote
to transmit files between the remote and the CIE.

For the purposes of Kermit distribution, the numerous files have been packed
together into four large files, CIE680.C, CIE680.ANN and CIE680.BWR
CIE680.HLP -- source, this message, a beware file and limited documentation,
respectively.  Each file-within-a-file starts with a line of the form

<<< name >>>

in which "name" is the actual name of the original file.  The files are
available in KER:CIE680.* on CU20B, and as CIE680 * from KERMSRV at CUVMA on
BITNET.
