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

CD-ROMS

  If you have obtained C-Kermit on a CD-ROM collection of "free software",
  C-Kermit was very likely included without permission.  Please help to support
  the Kermit project by obtaining Kermit software through the proper channels,
  with proper documentation.

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

  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 cku192.tar.Z or cku192.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 cku192.tar), and then give the appropriate "make" command to build for
  your UNIX system; read the comments in the makefile and ckuins.doc for
  further info.

  TEST VERSION, if any:
    kermit/test/tar/ckuNNN.tar.Z or .gz, where NNN is the edit number.

C-Kermit for VMS:  

  Get the file kermit/f/ckvaaa.hlp in text mode, read it, take it from there.

  TEST VERSION, if any:
    kermit/test/text/ckvaaa.hlp.

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


QUICK INSTALL

Installation procedures depend on the system.  Please read the CK?INS.DOC,
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.

  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. defining the dialing locale and the
    dialout device and characteristics.

  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.


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
environment, use lowercase letters, rather than the uppercase letters shown
here.  Subgroups:

  A: General descriptive material and documentation
  B: BOO file encoders and decoders (mostly obsolete)
  C: All systems with C compilers
  D: Data General AOS/VS
  E: Reserved for "ckermit" files, like CKERMIT.INI, CKERMIT.UPD
  F: (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
  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: DEC PDP-11 with RSX-11 (reserved)
  Y: (reserved)
  Z: (reserved)
  0-8: (reserved)
  9: Microware OS-9

Examples (use lowercase on UNIX):

  CKAAAA.HLP - This file
  CKVAAA.HLP - Read-me file for the VMS version
  CKOAAA.HLP - Read-me file for the OS/2 version
  CKUFIO.C   - File i/o for UNIX
  CKSTIO.C   - Communications i/o for the Atari ST
  CKUKER.NR  - Nroff source file for UNIX C-Kermit man page
  MAKEFILE   - Makefile for building UNIX C-Kermit
  CKOKER.MAK - Makefile for building OS/2 C-Kermit
