Hi there. I've been trying to use the C-KERMIT TRANSMIT command on our VAX/VMS
system, and have been having some trouble. The problem seems to be that the
TRANSMIT command only sends the first line of the file if the other side of
the connection is set in NOECHO mode, and in particular is not sending back
carriage returns and line feeds following each line that C-Kermit transmits.
So for example, if I use C-Kermit to connect to an interactive system that
does normal remote echoing of characters, everything works fine. If I TRANSMIT
a multi-line file, each successive line is sent to the remote system. However,
if the remote system is NOT set up to echo what is typed, and then I do a
TRANSMIT of a multi-line file, I find that only the first line of the file
is actually sent, though the TRANSMIT command does complete and return me to
the C-KERMIT> prompt after a moment.
It seems to me I ran into this problem before when I was trying to use C-KERMIT
to script some NNTP dialog using the TRANSMIT function, and I don't think I
ever found a workaround or even managed to figure out exactly what wasn't
working.
Does anybody know a way to fix this? What parameters (handshake, etc) might
effect the line-by-line operation of the TRANSMIT command like this?
Thanks for any help.
