FLEAVIUS.EXE is part of an old MIT Kerberos distribution which
included approximately 20 other EXE and DLL files. If you do
not use Kerberos you did not need to install them.
TIMESYNC.EXE is a tool required by users of Kerberos. Kerberos
requires that all system clocks by loosely synchronized usually
within 5 minutes. The syntax is:
timesync <hostname>
if no host name is provided the program tries to find a time server
using the standard names of 'time' and 'timehost' in the DNS search
path.
XSEND32.EXE is a tool that was used to create scripts of files to
transfer prior to the addition of /RECURSIVE transfers in Kermit 95
and C-Kermit. Here are the old docs.
XSEND (stored in the Kermit distribution as MSIXSE)
Original author: Author: Mark S. Zinzow <Markz@UIUCVMD.BITNET>, 1988.
Modified by Vace Kundakci & Frank da Cruz, Columbia University, 1989-91.
See source code for detailed edit history.
XSEND is a program to generate TAKE (command) files for MS-DOS Kermit
and FTP
for sending files and directories to a Kermit (or FTP) server over entire
directory trees or disks. This version uses relative directory names
without
explicit separators, so it can be used to send directory trees to UNIX
as well
as to MS-DOS.
To send a directory tree from MS-DOS, change directory to the desired
directory. Then run XSEND redirecting the output with the DOS redirection
symbol ">" (e.g. "XSEND > takeme"). Before proceeding, look at the command
file and make sure it's doing what you want. Then establish a connection to
the remote system with Kermit, CD to the directory in which you want to
replicate the DOS files and subdirectories, start the remote Kermit program
and put it in server mode. Then escape back and TAKE the command file
on the
PC.
Note that the PC sends all the files in all the directories in the same
mode,
text or binary. MS-DOS Kermit has no way of switching file mode on a
per-file
basis. This does no harm to PC-to-PC transfers, but poses dangers for
PC-to-UNIX transfers. When using an Xsend command file to transfer a
mixture
of text and binary files to UNIX, it is best to do the transfer in
binary mode
and then remove carriage returns from the text files later with the UNIX tr
utility.
Xsend accepts the following command-line arguments:
-k[path]: generate kermit commands (default)
-c[path]: generate copy commands
-m[path]: generate mkdir commands
-z[path]: generate del and rmdir commands
-l[path]: list full names
-g[path]: generate tftp get commands
-p[path]: generate tftp put commands
-h<name>: tftp to/from host
-f<name>: select files with name
-v: verbose (applies for -cklz)
