DOCUMENTATION

  C-Kermit is documented in the book "Using C-Kermit", Second Edition, by
  Frank da Cruz and Christine M. Gianone, Digital Press, ISBN 1-55558-164-1.
  Available at book and computer stores, or order from Columbia University
  by calling [phone] (MasterCard and Visa accepted), or by calling
  Digital Press / Butterworth-Heinemann at one of the numbers below
  (MasterCard, Visa, and American Express accepted).  PLEASE PURCHASE THE
  DOCUMENTATION: it shows you step-by-step how to use C-Kermit with lots of
  examples and illustrations, it will answer most of your questions, and
  sales help to fund the Kermit development and support effort.  Digital
  Press phone numbers:

  The second editon of Using C-Kermit corresponds to version 6.0.  The changes
  since 6.0 are documented in the file ckermit2.txt, which supplements the
  second edition of the manual until the third edition is published.

  Tel. [phone], Fax. [phone].

FILE NAMING CHANGES

  After C-Kermit 6.1 Beta.05, the names of all the text files were changed
  to have a filetype of ".txt" to allow them to be handled properly by
  Windows-based applications, Web browsers, etc:

    ckermit2.upd => ckermit2.txt
    ckaaaa.hlp   => ckaaaa.txt
    ckc195.upd   => ckc195.txt
    ckuins.doc   => ckuins.txt
    ckvins.doc   => ckvins.txt
    ckermit.bwr  => ckcbwr.txt
    ckuker.bwr   => ckubwr.txt
    ckvker.bwr   => ckvbwr.txt
    ckcplm.doc   => ckcplm.txt
    ckccfg.doc   => ckccfg.txt


QUICK START FOR FTP USERS (UNIX, VMS, AOS/VS, VOS, ...)

  If you have a Web browser, go to:

    http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html

  And take it from there.  Otherwise...

  The definitive FTP source for Kermit software is kermit.columbia.edu.
  Kermit software obtained from other FTP sites is not necessarily complete
  or up to date, and may have been modified.  (Note: C-Kermit is now available
  from the Kermit Project on CDROM.)

C-Kermit for UNIX computers that have a C compiler and 'make' program:

  Directory kermit/archives, binary mode, file cku196.tar.Z or cku196.tar.gz

  This is a compressed tar archive of UNIX C-Kermit source code, makefile, and
  other files.  Transfer in binary mode, uncompress (or gunzip), untar (tar
  xvf cku196.tar), and then give the appropriate "make" command to build for
  your UNIX system; read the comments in the makefile and ckuins.txt for
  further info.

C-Kermit for VMS:

  If you have VMS UNZIP, get the file kermit/archives/ckv196.zip in binary
  mode, unzip, and build with CKVKER.COM.  Otherwise get the file
  kermit/f/ckvaaa.hlp in text mode, read it, take it from there.

Others:  In the kermit/f or kermit/test directories under the appropriate
prefixes, explained below.


INSTALLATION

Installation procedures depend on the system.  Please read the CK?INS.TXT,
if any, file for your system (?=U for UNIX, V for VMS, etc).  Please note
the naming and placement for the initialization files:

  CKERMIT.INI
    The standard initialization file.  Please leave it as is unless you
    know what you are doing and (if you are changing it or replacing it
    for others to use) you are prepared to support it.  Rename this file
    to .kermrc in UNIX, OS-9, BeBox, or Plan 9.  In Stratus VOS, rename
    it ckermit.ini (lowercase).  On multiuser systems, it goes either in the
    (or EACH) user's home (login) directory, or else in a common shared
    place if C-Kermit has been configured to look in that place (see
    ckccfg.txt for details).

  CKERMOD.INI
    A *sample* customization file.  On multiuser OS's, a copy of this file
    goes in each user's home directory, and then each user edits it to suit
    her needs and preferences; e.g. by defining macros for their common
    connections.

  DIALING DIRECTORIES
    Dialing directory files can be system-wide, per-group, or per-user, or
    any combination.  For example, there can be a corporate wide directory
    shared by all users, a supplemental directory for each division or
    department, and a personal directory for each user.  Simply be sure the
    dialing directory files are identified a SET DIAL DIRECTORY command in
    the user's (or the system-wide) C-Kermit initialization file, or in the
    environment variable (logical name, symbol) K_DIAL_DIRECTORY.  (The
    standard initialization file looks by default in the user's home or login
    directory.)  When installing C-Kermit on multiuser platforms from which
    users will dial out, you can also set environment variables for area
    code, country code, and the various dialing prefixes as described on page
    478 of "Using C-Kermit" (second edition), so users don't have to worry
    about defining these items themselves.   Network directories and service
    directories can also be set up in a similar manner.

  DOCUMENTATION
    In UNIX, the general C-Kermit man page (or one of the versions tailored
    for a specific platform, like HP-UX or Solaris) should be installed in
    the appropriate place.  In VMS, the VMS help topic (CKVKER.HLP) should
    be installed as described in CKVINS.TXT.  Plain-text documentation such
    as CKERMIT2.TXT should be put in whatever place people are accustomed
    to looking.

FILES AND FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS

C-Kermit is a family of Kermit programs for many different computer systems.
The program shares a common set of system-independent file transfer protocol
modules, written in the C language.  System-dependent operations are collected
into system-specific modules for each system.

C-Kermit file names all start with the letters "CK", followed by a single
letter indicating the subgroup.  When referring to these files in the UNIX,
AOS/VS, or VOS environments, use lowercase letters, rather than the uppercase
letters shown here.  Subgroups:

  A: General descriptive material and documentation
  B: BOO file encoders and decoders (obsolete)
  C: All systems with C compilers
  D: Data General AOS/VS
  E: Reserved for "ckermit" files, like CKERMIT.INI, CKERMIT2.TXT
  F: (reserved)
  G: (reserved)
  H: (reserved)
  I: Commodore Amiga (Intuition)
  J: (unused)
  K: (unused)
  L: Stratus VOS
  M: Macintosh with Mac OS
  N: Microsoft Windows NT
  O: OS/2 and/or Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT
  P: Bell Labs Plan 9
  Q: (reserved)
  R: DEC PDP-11 with RSTS/E (reserved)
  S: Atari ST GEMDOS (last supported in version 5A(189))
  T: DEC PDP-11 with RT-11 (reserved)
  U: UNIX or environments with UNIX-like C libraries
  V: VMS and OpenVMS
  W: Wart (Lex-like preprocessor, used with all systems)
  X: Build lists (most recent build for each platform), e.g. ckx196.txt.
  Y: (reserved)
  Z: (reserved)
  0-3: (reserved)
  4: IBM AS/400
  5-8: (reserved)
  9: Microware OS-9

Examples (use lowercase on UNIX, VOS, or AOS/VS):

  CKAAAA.TXT - This file
  CKVAAA.TXT - Read-me file for the VMS version
  CKUFIO.C   - File i/o for UNIX
  CKSTIO.C   - Communications i/o for the Atari ST
  MAKEFILE   - Makefile for building UNIX C-Kermit
  CKOKER.MAK - Makefile for building OS/2 C-Kermit
