Date: 9 October 1987, 13:03:58 SET From: Gisbert W.Selke +49 228 225888 Subject: Synopsis of GERMIT.DOC: Ch. 1: very brief story about what it means to do computer communication. Typical session consists of emulation plus (maybe) file transfer. Examples used will be MS-Kermit 2.30 and Modcomp Kermiv. (Nothing about communication pitfalls - very informal setting.) Ch. 2.1: A typical kermit emulation session Ch. 2.2: text file transfer Ch. 2.3: binary file transfer by pre-processing (boo-ing). Is necessary for Kermiv. Ch. 3.1: important Kermiv commands (to be replaced at each site with a command summary of their own) Ch. 3.2: the most important MS-Kermit commands for an ordinary user, assuming that some caring systems person has done the general set-up for ordinary tasks. Reference to .INI and take files. App. 1: sample key definitions as used at our site (as seen from the user) App. 2: description of useful .bat and .scr files (Modcomp specific, of course; but since Modcomp isn't too friendly, it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt.): one-line file sender, one-line file receiver, logon script, brief description of binary file preprocessing. App. 3: sample MSKERMIT.INI for German users App. 4: listings of .bat and .scr files as referred to in App. 2. Feedback welcome. \Gisbert
