KERMIT SCRIPTS LIBRARY

Directories:

  ckermit     Contains scripts for C-Kermit and/or Kermit 95
  k95keymaps  Key maps for Kermit 95
  mskermit    Contains MS-DOS Kermit scripts

Each directory contains a READ.ME file with greater detail about its
contents.

The script language of C-Kermit and K95 is virtually identical for any
pair of concurrent releases of the two programs, except that K95 has a lot
of commands and features (mostly related to terminal emulation) that
C-Kermit does not, and of course the details of device and filename syntax
differ (as, in fact, they do between UNIX, VMS, VOS, AOS/VS, and other
platforms where C-Kermit runs).

Aside from these differences, compatibility is assurred by the fact that
C-Kermit and k95 have the same command processor.  Thus most of the
scripts in the "ckermit" directory can also run on K95 with little or no
alteration.

The script language of MS-DOS Kermit 3.15 and later (which has an entirely
separate code base from C-Kermit and K95) is a large subset of that of
C-Kermit and K95, including FOR, WHILE, SWITCH, etc, as well as arrays,
functions, built-in variables, and so on.  It is greatly advanced over
MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 and earlier.

Sample scripts in all these directories are more oriented towards recent
(or even test) versions of Kermit than towards old versions.

User submissions are welcome.  Send them to kermit-support@columbia.edu,
indicating clearly which Kermit program and version are required.  Include
comments explaining what the script does, what features it illustrates,
hints for adapting it to other situations, etc.
