QUICK START FOR FTP USERS

  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.

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

  Directory kermit/archives, binary mode, file cku211.tar.Z or cku211.tar.gz

  This is a compressed tar archive of UNIX C-Kermit source code, makefile, and
  other files.  It unpacks into its current directory, so download it into a
  fresh directory.  Transfer in binary mode, uncompress (or gunzip), untar (tar
  xvf cku211.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/ckv211.zip in binary
  mode, unzip, and build with CKVKER.COM.

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:

  _: Security/Authentication/Encryption code, possibly regulated by law
  a: General descriptive material and documentation
  b: BOO file encoders and decoders (obsolete)
  c: All platforms with C compilers
  d: Data General AOS/VS
  e: Reserved for "ckermit" files, like CKERMIT.INI, CKERMIT80.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/ME/NT/2000/XP/...
  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: (reserved)
  y: (reserved)
  z: (reserved)
  0-3: (reserved)
  4: IBM AS/400 (reserved)
  5-8: (reserved)
  9: Microware OS-9

Examples:

  ckaaaa.txt - This file
  ckufio.c   - File i/o for UNIX
  ckstio.c   - Communications i/o for the Atari ST
  makefile   - makefile for building UNIX C-Kermit
  ckpker.mk  - makefile for building Plan 9 C-Kermit
  ckvker.com - build procedure for VMS C-Kermit

IMPORTANT FILES (use lowercase names on UNIX, VOS, or AOS/VS):

  ckaaaa.txt  - This file (overview of the C-Kermit files).
                For system-specific distributions, this will normally
                be replaced by a system-specific READ.ME file.

  ckermit70.txt - Updates: Supplement to "Using C-Kermit", 2nd Ed, for 7.0.
  ckermit80.txt - Updates: Supplement to "Using C-Kermit", 2nd Ed, for 8.0.
  ckututor.txt  - C-Kermit Tutorial for Unix (plain text)
  ckcbwr.txt  - "Beware file" (limitations, known bugs, hints), general.
  ckermit.ini - Standard initialization file (rename to .kermrc in UNIX, OS-9)
  ckermod.ini - Sample customization file (rename to .mykermrc in UNIX, OS-9)

The following can be found at the Kermit FTP site:

  ckermit.kdd - Sample dialing directory file (rename to .kdd in UNIX, OS-9)
  ckermit.knd - Sample dialing directory file (rename to .knd in UNIX, OS-9)
