READ.ME OS/2 C-Kermit 5A(190) BETA.018 August 1994
OS/2 C-Kermit is a powerful, full-function communications software
program for your OS/2 system. C-Kermit supports serial communications,
automatic dialing, TCP/IP, DECnet/LAT, NETBIOS, and Named Pipes as
communication methods, with VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220, and ANSI
terminal emulation, key mapping, screen rollback, screen copy and
printing, fast and reliable Kermit file transfer, national and
international character-set conversion, and includes a powerful,
easy-to-use script programming language.
C-Kermit Software Copyright (C) 1985, 1994, Trustees of Columbia
University in the City of New York. The C-Kermit software may not
be, in whole or in part, licensed or sold for profit as a software
product itself, nor may it be included in or distributed with

This copyright notice must not be removed, altered, or obscured.
The above copyright notice also applies to inclusion of C-Kermit on
so-called "freeware" and/or "shareware" CD-ROMs.
Numerous improvements have been made to OS/2 C-Kermit since "Using
C-Kermit" was published. Be sure to read the CKERMIT.UPD (C-Kermit
updates) file included on the diskette, particularly the OS/2 section.
NOTICE:
This is a beta release from CompuServe. Please e-mail all bug reports
or suggestions to the authors at internet:jaltman@kermit.columbia.edu.
Thank you.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To install C-Kermit 5A(190) on your OS/2 system:
1. Insert the C-Kermit diskette into a diskette drive.
2. Click on the diskette icon for that diskette drive.
3. Click on the INSTALL.CMD file and then answer the
questions.
Alternatively, from an OS/2 command window, type the command
"a:install" (substitute a different disk letter if necessary).
After installation, you can use C-Kermit by clicking on its desktop
icon or, in a command window, typing "ckermit".
If desired, you can skip the automatic installation procedure and
follow the instructions on pages 421-423 of "Using C-Kermit" (if you
don't have the book, ordering information is given below). This
gives you a bit more flexibility, but requires that you edit some
files yourself.
WHAT IS ON THE OS/2 C-KERMIT DISTRIBUTION DISKETTE
READ.ME
This file.
INSTALL.CMD (or CKOINS.CMD)
OS/2 C-Kermit installation procedure (a REXX program).
CKOKER16.EXE or CKOKER32.EXE
The OS/2 C-Kermit program, either the 16-bit version or the 32-bit
version, depending on which one you ordered. It will be installed
as CKERMIT.EXE if you use the INSTALL procedure. The 16-bit
version should be used on OS/2 1.x. The 32-bit version should be
used on OS/2 2.x. The 16-bit version will also work on OS/2 2.x
but the 32-bit version has more features. The 32-bit version will
not work on OS/2 1.x.
CKOTCP16.DLL or CKOTCP32.DLL
Interface between C-Kermit and your installed TCP/IP software,
if any. It works with IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 or 2.0.
CKOSYSL.CK1 or CKOSYSL.CK2
SYSLEVEL info for 16-bit and 32-bit versions, respectively.
CKERMIT.CMD
A sample REXX CMD file for starting OS/2 C-Kermit. Handled
automatically by INSTALL.CMD. Or read and modify to suit your
requirements.
CKERMIT.ICO
OS/2 C-Kermit desktop icon.
CKERMIT.INI
Standard C-Kermit 5A initialization file. Sets up your dialing
and services directories, and defines several handy command
macros. This is an ordinary text file; it documents itself --
just read it in a text editor, or print it.
CKERMOD.INI
Sample C-Kermit 5A customization file, edit to suit your needs.
NOTE: the INSTALL procedure will modify this file to include your
preference for port, modem type, and communication speed.
CKERMIT.KDD
Sample C-Kermit dialing directory file. Edit this file to include
the numbers that you actually call. See pages 50-67 of "Using
C-Kermit" for complete instructions on dialing. NOTE: You don't
need to use the dialing directory in order to make modem calls; it
is merely a convenience that lets you refer to frequently called
numbers by name - "dial work" instead of "dial 1 212 555-1234".
CKERMIT.KSD
Sample C-Kermit services directory file. This lets you establish
connections and log in automatically to all sorts of hosts and
services in a uniform way, no matter what the connection method.
See Chapter 13 of "Using C-Kermit", and the services directory
section of CKERMIT.UPD.
CKERMIT.UPD ("C-Kermit Updates")
New features in C-Kermit since "Using C-Kermit" was published.
There are many new features for OS/2 edits 189 and 190, and the
method for key mapping is completely different. (The information
that was formerly scattered among several different files --
CKCKER.UPD, CKCKER.BWR, CKOKER.BWR, CKOREXX.DOC, CKOEXP.DOC -- has
been consolidated into this new file.)
CKOVTK2.INI
Sample key settings file to make DEC VT52, VT100, VT102, and VT220
key assignments for the IBM PC extended (101) keyboard, which,
among other things, makes the IBM numeric keypad act like the DEC
VT terminal numeric keypad, Gold key and all. Tell C-Kermit to
TAKE this file to make the key assignments. For a detailed listing
of the mapping between DEC keys and PC keys, read the CKOVTK2.INI
file itself (it's an ordinary text file).
XSEND.CMD
A C-Kermit REXX program to send an entire directory tree from one
OS/2 system to another, making an exact copy of the directory structure,
and all the files, including all their attributes. It can also be used,
with some restrictions, for sending OS/2 directory trees to DOS or UNIX.
Read XSEND.CMD for further information.
M2ZMODEM.INI, P101.INI, P200.INI
External XMODEM, YMODEM, YMODEM-G, and ZMODEM protocol definitions for
M2ZMODEM, P 1.01, and P 2.00, respectively.
CP437.TXT, CP850.TXT, LATIN1.TXT
Character-set tables for the two common PC code pages used with
OS/2 for representing West European languages, and the
corresponding international standard character set. Use these for
practice displaying and transferring international text.
