- Kermit for Microsoft Windows

- Windows Multitasking
- --------------------
-
- Due to the fact that MS Windows implements COOPERATIVE multitasking, it is
- possible for a not so nice program to steal Windows' attention for an
- inordinate amount of time. If this happens, an active file transfer
- may be aborted by the remote side because it is not receiving any responses.
-
- Certain actions inside the windows environment can cause the same problem.
- Multitasking is suspended any time a system modal dialog box is on the screen.
-
- Fortunately, you should rarely encounter these problems during normal use.

- Setting Communications Configuration
- ------------------------------------
-
- It is very important to set your communications options before attempting
- to connect to another KERMIT. Use Configuration:Communications to set
- these options.

-
- Communicating with IBM Mainframes
- ---------------------------------
-
- This program does fully support such operation. However, you must be sure
- to configure all of the communications options correctly. Also, the
- ASCII to EBCDIC translations performed by the mainframe side must be
- correct. If you are unsure of the correctness of the mainframe
- KERMIT's installation, try a different version of KERMIT on your
- PC (the standard MS-DOS version is fine).
