KERMIT.EXE is the current released version, 3.3.117, dated April 1987.  It
requires VMS version 4.0 or later to run.  VMSV31.EXE is version 3.1 from many
years ago, which is the last version able to run under pre-4.0 releases of
VMS.

The diskette is in VMS COPY format.  To read it, make a new directory or
subdirectory, and SET DEFAULT to it.  The diskette's volume label is KERMIT,
so you would mount it with a command like

  MOUNT DUA2: KERMIT K

(assuming your RX-50 diskette drive has device name DUA2:).  This command also
assigns logical name K: to the diskette.  First COPY K:[KERMIT]*.* to the empty
directory.  After this, you don't need the diskette any more.  To install
KERMIT for users, COPY KERMIT.EXE to SYS$SYSTEM, and SET FILE /PROT=(W:R).  You
can also install Kermit as a VMS command by adding an appropriate INSTALL
command for it in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM.

To install the HELP KERMIT command in DCL, do this:

$ RENAME VMSMIT.RNH KERMIT.RNH
$ RUNOFF KERMIT.RNH/VAR=SYSTEM
$ LIBRARY/HELP/DELETE=KERMIT SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB (ignore any errors here)
$ LIBRARY/INSERT/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB KERMIT.HLP

And to install Kermit's internal HELP command, do this:

$ RUNOFF KERMIT.RNH
$ LIBRARY/CREATE/HELP SYS$HELP:KERMIT.HLB KERMIT.HLP
