THE C-KERMIT DISKETTE
This diskette contains C-Kermit 6.0.192 for the version of UNIX that is marked
on the label. This is a DOS-format diskette containing the Kermit executable,
plus the text files listed below. Text files are in UNIX format, so you can
move all of the files from this diskette to your UNIX file system in binary
mode.
The files on this diskette are:
read.me - This file.
kermit - The C-Kermit executable. After copying to a UNIX
disk, you must chmod +x to give it execute permission.
In some cases, there might be two or three different
executables, as marked on the label. The executable should
be placed in a directory that is in your PATH, but which
will not be destroyed by future operating system updates,
perhaps /usr/local/bin. Please read ckuins.doc for more
detailed instructions.
ckuker.nr - UNIX man page for C-Kermit, to be installed in the system's
local man page directory. Format via 'nroff -man'.
ckuins.doc - UNIX C-Kermit installation instructions.
The following files should be placed in your home directory:
ckermit.ini - Standard C-Kermit initialization file.
Rename to .kermrc and place in your home directory.
ckermod.ini - Sample C-Kermit customization file. Rename to .mykermrc and
place in your home directory, and then make any desired
customizations.
ckermit.kdd - Sample dialing directory file. Replace this with your own
dialing directory in the same format, and rename it to .kdd
in your home directory.
ckermit.knd - Sample network directory file. Replace this with your own
network directory in the same format, and rename it to .knd
in your home directory.
ckermit.ksd - Sample services directory. Replace this with your own services
directory in the same format, and rename to .ksd in your home
directory.
The following files should be placed in a world-readable directory, such as
/usr/local/lib/kermit, with world read permission:
ckermit.upd - Updates to C-Kermit since "Using C-Kermit" was published;
documentation for new features.
ckermit.bwr - General C-Kermit "Beware file" - hints and tips, known bugs, etc.
ckuker.bwr - UNIX-specific C-Kermit "Beware File".
ckedemo.ksc, ckevt.ksc, ckepage.ksc -

these files from the C-Kermit prompt to check the operation of
many of C-Kermit's script programming features.
