- NOTES ON THIS IMPLEMENTATION OF KERMIT
-
- Capabilities:
-
- * Wild card transfer
- * (Limited) Talk to server (GET, SEND, LOGOUT)
- * (Limited) Server operation
- * 1 and 2-byte checksums, and 3-byte CRC
- * 31 packet sliding window
- * 9024 maximum packet length
- * Any legal baud rate from 2 to 115200
- * Attribute packets (File creation and size)
-
- * Non-standard high-speed option which can transfer full
- 8-bit binary data in the 'D' packets.
- * Automatic handling of file name collisions:
- Default values:
- - No attribute packet (i.e. no date transferred):
- Rename the file.
- - Old file (received-file.date <= existing-file.date)
- Skip the file.
- - New file (rec.date > exist.date)
- Rename existing file to .BAK,
- Give new file the original name
- * Save most parameters on a setup file.
- * Can talk to IBM 370's trough protocol emulators when
- logged in as a VT100 terminal on the emulator.
-
- * To save a particular setup, hit F5(Save). A small file with
- the name KERMIT.INI will be created. If you need more than
- one setup, the easiest is to rename the setup file. You may
- then start the program as KERMIT /I=<SetupFile>. If no setup-
- file was given, the default KERMIT.INI will be used. Under
- DOS 3+, the .INI file will be looked for in the directory
- where KERMIT.EXE was found.
-
- * Start-up commands:
- The following commands may be given on the command line:
- - Server
- - Send <filespec>
- - Get <filespec>
- - Receive
- If a command is given, it will be executed, and the program
- will then exit.
-
- * Features I am working on:
- VT100 emulation
- Keyboard macro's
- Script capabilities (Command line interface)
-
- I hope to get some feedback on what I should put into this
- program, and on how it works on different PC's.
- Please send BIX-mail to TerjeM.
