  5. C-Kermit for QL version 1.10                                     5th May 1987
  6. ----------------------------
  7.  
  8. It seems that new versions of Kermit for the Sinclair QL are appearing thick
  9. and fast, and  this  parcel is no exception.  I have taken the original C
  10. version written by Robert Coughlan of Liverpool University  and  greatly
  11. expanded it, replacing may of the features which were removed from  its 
  12. C-Kermit  base to reduce its  size;  and  also added some new ones.  These
  13. include default devices, file name translation and transfer  interruption; 
  14. however server mode is not supported, which the BCPL version in  [.QL2]  does. 
  15.  It also does not support  the  Q-Connect  module or  any form of flow control 
  16. other  than CTS/RTS.   It however includes most of  the  interactive  command 
  17. parser features of  full  C-Kermit.   Hopefully you (or someone out there!)
  18. will find a use for it. 
  19.  
  20. Full documentation is supplied in [.QLK]QLKKER.DOC
  21.  
  22. This version is written to be compiled using the Metacomco C development
  23. system.  The files need to be renamed before compilation. The mapping between
  24. the names as stored at Lancaster and the names they should have is this:
  25.  
  26. Name at            Rename to               Usage
  27. Lancaster
  28. ---------          ---------               -----
  29. QLKMAI.C           MAIN_C                  Global data and main program
  30. QLKCMD.C           CMD_C                   Command processor
  31. QLKFNS.C           FNS_C                   Protocol functions
  32. QLKSWI.C           SWIT_C                  Protocol switcher
  33. QLKUS1.C           US1_C                   User commands
  34. QLKUS2.C           US2_C                   The SET command
  35. QLKSBR.C           SBR_C                   General subroutines

  40. QLKKER.LNK         KER_LNK                 Linker control file
  41.  
  42. If it turns out that somebody is interested in using this version, I would
  43. be   pleased   to  receive  bug  reports   or   improvement   suggestions.
  44. Unfortunately, I have no electronic mail  address so I cannot support them
  45. that way.  Perhaps some other way could be found.
