- KERMIT.EXE is the current released version, 3.3.128, dated June 1990. It
- requires VMS version 4.0 or later to run. VMSV31.EXE is version 3.1 from many
- years ago, which is the last version able to run under pre-4.0 releases of
- VMS.
-
- The diskette is in VMS COPY format. To read it, make a new directory or
- subdirectory, and SET DEFAULT to it. The diskette's volume label is KERMIT,
- so you would mount it with a command like
-
- MOUNT DUA2: KERMIT K
-
- (assuming your RX-50 diskette drive has device name DUA2:). This command also
- assigns logical name K: to the diskette. First COPY K:[KERMIT]*.* to the empty
- directory. After this, you don't need the diskette any more. To install
- KERMIT for users, COPY KERMIT.EXE to SYS$SYSTEM, and SET FILE /PROT=(W:R). You
- can also install Kermit as a VMS command by adding an appropriate INSTALL
- command for it in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM.
-
- To install the HELP KERMIT command in DCL, do this:
-
- $ RENAME VMSMIT.RNH KERMIT.RNH
- $ RUNOFF KERMIT.RNH/VAR=SYSTEM
- $ LIBRARY/HELP/DELETE=KERMIT SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB (ignore any errors here)
- $ LIBRARY/INSERT/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB KERMIT.HLP
-
- And to install Kermit's internal HELP command, do this:
-
- $ RUNOFF KERMIT.RNH
- $ LIBRARY/CREATE/HELP SYS$HELP:KERMIT.HLB KERMIT.HLP
