Usage: kermit [r] [s file...]

When Kermit is invoked without arguments it defaults to a Kermit server.
The 's' argument invokes Kermit in the send state and must be followed
by the file(s) that are to be sent.  The 'r' puts Kermit in the receive
state. The 'r' option is not necessary since the Kermit server will
handle both sending and receiveing.  The Kermit server however, cannot
send more than one file at a time.  Thus, when sending more than one
file it may be desireable to use the 's' option.

Installation:

This is the Software Tools Ratfor Kermit.  Everything's in one Tools archive
file.

This is a working version of Remote-Only Software Tools Kermit in Ratfor (with
server mode).  It is in Software Tools 'ar' (ar1) format, the standard for
Tools distributions.  Text formatter is Software Tools 'roff' (similar to, but
simpler than, Unix nroff).  It is set up for the HP3000, but the Univac
localizations are included as well.

Any Software Tools implementor can install this rather simply on his/her
machine: the machine dependent parts are well flagged and few.  Further
versions will be forthcoming, but this should serve for anyone's initial
implementation.  Implementors should also pick up the standard user's and
protocol manuals.

For information about the Tools package for their machine, interested parties
should contact:

For the HP3000 package, they should contact:

For the Univac, perhaps Allen Cole at U of Utah.
