- AAAREAD.ME -- Brief Guide to Kermit Files, July 1988
-
- File names all start with letters and are of the form NAME.TYPE, and will
- normally appear in alphabetical order in a directory listing or on a tape.
-
- Files whose names start with AA (like this one) -- normally appearing at
- the top of a directory listing -- give general information about Kermit.
-
- Kermit programs are stored in the Kermit distribution areas with related
- files grouped together using filename prefixes; the names of all the files
- for a certain implementation all start with the same 2- or 3-character
- prefix, for instance all the files for MS-DOS Kermit have names starting
- with MS, the files names for VAX/VMS Kermit all start with VMS.
-
- The following files describe what's available in the Kermit distribution:
-
- AAFILES.HLP - Explanation of what files are availabe and how they are named.
- AANETW.HLP -- Information about network access to Kermit files.
- AANOKS.HLP -- Information about the Oklahoma State U Kermit archive.
- AATAPE.HLP -- Information about Kermit distribution tape formats.
-
- Files whose names start with AAV are brief, complete lists of existing,
- available Kermit versions, sorted in various ways:
-
- AAVERS.HLP -- Master list, in no particular order
- AAVNEW.HLP -- Listed in reverse chronological order of release date
- AAVOPS.HLP -- Listed alphabetically by operating system only
- AAVPFX.HLP -- Listed alphabetically by prefix, regardless of tape
- AAVSYS.HLP -- Listed alphabetically by machine and operating system
- AAVTAP.HLP -- Listed by tape (A,B,C,D,E), then alphabetically by file prefix
-
- The next file lists the Kermit programs we are still waiting for:
-
- AAWAIT.HLP -- A list of Kermit implementations reportedly under development
-
- And finally there are some bureaucratic files, whose names start with AAX:
-
- AAXFLY.DOC -- The Kermit flyer and mail-order form.
- AAXCOM.DOC -- The policy on commercial use and distribution of Kermit.
