Installation of NOS Kermit. NOS Kermit is supplied as a single source file suitable for generating a modify format OPL. Any changes will be supplied as modify directives to this OPL. From the supplied source the installation is as follows:- MODIFY,P=0,N=KERMPL,C=0,F,Z./*CREATE filename where 'filename' is the name of the local file containing the supplied source. This will create a local file 'KERMPL' which should be saved. From this file the binary file can be created. To ensure that the correct binary is produced for your system the symbol PSR should be set to the PSR level of the system. MODIFY,F,C,P=KERMPL,I=modname. where 'modname' is the name of a local file containg any 'MODIFY' directives supplied in a '.BWR' file. If there are no modifications then 'modname' should be replaced by '0'. Make the 'SYSTEM OPL' local as a file called 'OPL'. COMPASS,I,B=LGO,L=LIST,S=PSSTEXT,S=NOSTEXT. LDSET(PRESET=ZERO) LOAD(LGO) NOGO(KERMIT) ^C The file 'KERMIT' now contains the absolute binary required to run NOS Kermit. Currently this file can be executed from any user job however, it is likely that later releases will require KERMIT to reside on the system as SSJ= validation is intended. This is primarily to request the correct device before receiving a file so that the delay during the 'DEFINE' function (if used) can be avoided. NOTE: NOS Kermit was developed on NOS 2.4 and will be updated (if required) for NOS 2.5. There are no known reasons why it should not run on lower versions of NOS but this has not been tested.
