What version of C-Kermit are you using? The current
version is 6.0:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
I have a file called "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", and
it contains the following line:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When I use C-Kermit 6.0 to send it using all defaults,
the packets look like this:
s-00-00-^A8 Sz/ @-#Y3~^! z0___D"U1A
r-00-00-^A8 Yz/ @-#Y3~^! z0___C"U1F
|
-----------------------+
Here we agree to use repeat-count compression ("~").
s-01-00-^A(!F~7a(LF
Here the senders says the filename is "~7a":
~ = repeat count prefix
7 = ASCII 55 - 32 = 23
so 23 a's.
r-01-00-^A5!Y/w/fdc/temp2/~7a*5"
The receiver acknowledges with its name for the file
(note, also 23 a's).
s-03-00-^A*#D~8x#J#;-
r-03-00-^A%#Y/R9
Here we send the contents of the file, 24 x's in a row.
The remaining details of the transfer are omitted.
Now we tell C-Kermit to SET REPEAT COUNTS OFF and transfer
the file again:
s-00-00-^A8 Sz/ @-#Y3 ^! z0___D"U1"
r-00-00-^A8 Yz/ @-#Y3~^! z0___C"U1F
|
-----------------------+
Note: The receiver puts "~", but the sender doesn't, so
therefore they do not agree to use compression.
s-01-00-^A<!Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa$\^
r-01-00-^AI!Y/w/fdc/temp2/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa -X
The filename is sent without compression.
s-03-00-^A?#Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx#J/1-
r-03-00-^A%#Y/R9
The file contents are sent without compression.
