DOCUMENTATION
The user manual for C-Kermit 7.0 is the book Using C-Kermit, Second Edition, which is current with C-Kermit 6.0. Features new to version 7.0 are documented in the online Supplement to Using C-Kermit, Second Edition, which should serve as a supplement to the book until the Third Edition is ready in 2001.
If you don't have the manual, please order it. It explains how to use C-Kermit, how to make connections, how to troubleshoot connection and file-transfer problems, how to handle character-set translation, how to write script programs, and lots more. It lets you get the most out of your software, it reduces the load on our help desk, and sales of the manual are the primary source of funding for continued C-Kermit development and support.

This is just a brief list; the complete story runs to more than 200 printed pages, and can be found in the ckermit2.txt file, which is a supplement to Using C-Kermit, 2nd Edition. Also available on the Web as ckermit2.html.
For even more detail, you can read the day-by-day edit history in the ckc197.txt file, as well as all the Alpha and Beta test announcements in the ck61*.txt and ck70*.txt files in the kermit/f/ directory.
The following sections present an overview of several of C-Kermit 7.0's new features. After these come links to the software itself.
INTERNET KERMIT SERVICE
In UNIX and Windows 9x/NT, C-Kermit 7.0 can be set up as an Internet service under inetd, similar to an FTP server, using a TCP port and Telnet options assigned for this purpose by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) and described in Internet RFCs 2839 and 2840.
The Internet Kermit Service Daemon (IKSD) can be accessed in client/server mode from any Kermit client (similar to how FTP works), but can also be accessed directly at its prompt, which opens up a whole new world of automation possibilities. Other advantages over FTP include:
- Character-set translation
- Flexible file selection mechanisms (date, size, exception lists, etc)
- Preservation of timestamps and permissions
- Automatic per-file text/binary mode switching
- Cross-platform directory-tree transfer
- Filename collisions options (e.g. backup, update).
- Atomic file movement (delete or move source file iff transfer successful)
- Recovery of interrupted binary-mode transfers (*)
- File transfer through firewalls, proxies, or network address translators
- File transfer through a combination of transports (e.g. terminal servers)
- Configurability as a secure server with Kerberos, SRP, or SSL/TLS (*).
- Realtime monitoring by system manager.
Note that timestamps, permissions, text/binary mode switching, and directory tree transfer are not restricted to UNIX-to-UNIX connections, but also work with Kermit clients on other platforms including Windows 95/98/NT, OS/2, and VMS (as appropriate -- e.g. permissions don't apply to Windows).
The Kermit Project's IKSD is available for public access at:
kermit.columbia.edu 1649
Anonymous logins are welcome: give a user ID of "anonymous" or "ftp", and supply your email address as the password. You may log in interactively on a Telnet connection:
telnet kermit.columbia.edu 1649 Username: anonymous Password: abc@xyz.com
Or you can make a client/server connection as follows:
set host kermit.columbia.edu 1649 remote login anonymous abc@xyz.com
When you use C-Kermit 7.0 itself as the client, you will have a new "tight coupling" between client and server, in which each partner tracks the "mode" of the other (prompt, connect, server, etc). When you make an anonymous connection to this server, you will find yourself in the /pub/ftp tree, and can access any directories or files you could access with anonymous FTP to same server.

EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE
The UNIX version of C-Kermit 7.0 can now be used through any other communications program whose user interface goes through standard input and standard output. In addition, most of the UNIX versions can also control external programs via pseudoterminals, like 'expect' can.
This allows you (for example) to use all the scripting and file transfer features of C-Kermit through clients of various services that C-Kermit might not support directly like ftp, an ssh client, tn3270 (for connecting to IBM mainframes), tn5250 (for AS/400 connections), various SOCKS Telnet clients, a cu or tip program that has access to a dialout device that Kermit does not, rlogin connections without being root. The commands are PIPE (for standard i/o redirection) and PTY (for pseudoterminals). Examples:
pipe cu -l tty04 pipe rlogin xyzcorp.com pipe srp-telnet xenon.stanford.edu pty ssh abccorp.com pty tn3270 cics.bigiron.com pty ftp hq.mycompany.com
PIPE is more portable but won't work with applications that don't use standard i/o, and it bypasses the terminal driver, which can result in CR/LF/CRLF confusion, inappropriate keyboard handing or echoing, etc. PTY is less widely available, but it allows you to control any text-mode application at all, and it does so through the terminal driver, thus bypassing the problems with PIPE.
In fact, the PTY interface lets you script interactions with any local text-mode program: ftp, your shell, lpc, Lynx, IRC, various text editors, and so on. This feature is available in FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSDI, Mac OS X, AIX 4.1 and later, DG/UX 5.4R4.11, Digital UNIX 3.2 and 4.0, HP-UX 9.00 and later, IRIX 6.0 and later, Linux, NeXTSTEP 3.x, QNX 4.25, SCO OSR5.0.5, SCO Unixware 7, SINIX 5.42, Solaris 2.x and 7, and SunOS 4.1.3.

SECURITY AND PRIVACY
UNIX C-Kermit 7.0 can be built with support for MIT's Kerberos IV or Kerberos V, Stanford University's Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol, or SSL/TLS security. These protocols allow for mutually authenticated Telnet connections without sending passwords over the network, and optionally also for fully encrypted sessions.
A secure client needs a secure server on the other end. For a survey of secure Telnet servers for UNIX, CLICK HERE.
The encryption modules are not part of the regular C-Kermit package due to USA export law. If you are in the USA or Canada and you would like to download the secure version of C-Kermit (source code only) CLICK HERE or send us e-mail.
SSL/TLS is the IETF-approved form of public-key security, an alternative to SSH that is free of patent restrictions and that addresses the key-management and revocation issues that SSH presents. C-Kermit 7.0 supports the OpenSSL implementation of SSL/TLS, which allows pure SSL or TLS based connections with Tim Hudson's Telnet AUTH SSL and the IETF's Telnet START_TLS protocols, including verification of certificate chains for both client and server, and support for certificate revocation lists. A Unix telnet server that supports Telnet START_TLS is available from:
ftp://ftp.runestig.com/pub/starttls/inetutils-1.3.2-tls.tar.gz
SSL/TLS connections may also be used to connect to Secure Web Servers for use with the new HTTP commands:
SET HOST host https /SSL SET HOST host https /TLS
or between two C-Kermits to establish a private connection:
SET HOST * port /SSL <--- Server SET HOST host port /SSL <--- Client

HTTP CLIENT COMMANDS
A new suite of HTTP commands lets you manage Web servers with C-Kermit using HTTP 1.0 protocol. You can get and put files, obtain information about them, and so on, even when you could not ordinarily do so with FTP or Kermit (for example, because no FTP or IKSD server is installed on the Web server), and when you have the SSL/TLS option installed, you can do so securely.
NEW TELNET ENGINE
C-Kermit 7.0 includes a new Telnet protocol engine incorporating:
- Proper treatment of required replies
- Support for authentication and encryption
- Negotiations now done at SET HOST time allow testing by IF SUCCESS
- Telnet negotiations now handled during file transfer
- New Telnet protocol options
- Settable policies for each Telnet option in each direction
- Server-side Telnet protocol for incoming connections
- Realtime monitoring of Telnet protocol options

PPP DIALING
The new EXEC command (Unix only) lets Kermit overlay itself in memory with an external program, starting this program with command-line options of your choice. EXEC /REDIRECT takes this one step further, redirecting the external program's standard i/o to Kermit's communications connection. You can use this feature to turn Kermit into your PPP dialer, which gives you all the advantages of C-Kermit's knowledge of modems, phone numbers, area and country codes, etc, and its dialing-directory and redialing capabilities. Example:
ask \%u { User: }
askq \%p { Password: }
set modem type usr ; Specify the kind of modem you have
set line /dev/ttyS1 ; Specify the device it's connected to
set speed 57600 ; and the speed
set flow rts/cts ; and flow control.
set dial retries 100 ; Try the dial sequence up to 100 times.
dial {{9-212-555-1212}{9-212-555-1213}{9-212-555-1214}{9-212-555-1215}}
if fail exit 1
for \%i 1 16 1 { ; Try up to 16 times to get login prompt
input 10 Login: ; Wait 10 sec for it to appear
if success break ; Got it - proceed...
output \13 ; Send a carriage return and try again
}
if ( > \%i 16 ) stop 1 NO LOGIN PROMPT
lineout \%u ; Send user ID
input 30 assword: ; Wait for Password prompt
if fail stop 1 NO PASSWORD PROMPT
lineout \%p ; Send the password.
exec /redirect pppd ; Replace ourselves with pppd.
Notice the advantages over the well-known PPP "chat script":
- You don't have to control the modem itself with AT commands; Kermit's
DIAL command does this for you.
- You can have Kermit automatically redial as many times as you want
until it gets a connection (if this is legal in your country).
- You can have Kermit fetch the number or numbers from a dialing directory.
- You can have Kermit cycle through a list of phone numbers (another new
feature of C-Kermit 7.0) without having to enter the numbers in a dialing
directory first.
- Dialing is location-independent; you can use the same script to dial from
different areas or countries.
Changing modem types is a simple matter of changing the name in the "set modem type" command.
- Once the connection is made, the full power of Kermit's script language is available to manage the dialog with the terminal server or other device that answers the phone call.

COMMAND SWITCHES
C-Kermit 7.0 allows for optional command modifiers called switches.
A switch is a keyword beginning with a slash (/). Some switches accept values as operands. Switches affect only the command with which they are included; thus their affect is local, not global like SET commands. Here are some examples:
send oofa.txt ; No switches send /binary oofa.zip ; A switch without a value send /protocol:zmodem oofa.zip ; A switch with a value send /text /delete /as-name:x.x oofa.txt ; Several switchesSwitches bring a new level of flexibility to Kermit's command language. For example, they can be used for file selection in file-transfer commands:
send /after:8-Feb-1998_10:28:01 /larger-than:10000 /except:*.log *.*or for disposition of the source file after transfer:
send /binary /delete *.zipor for mailing or printing:
send /mail /subject:{Here is the recipe you wanted} lasagna.txt
send /print:{-PLaserWriter2 -#3} lasagna.ps
or whether to pass the file through a filter, or to descend directories
recursively, or to recover an interrupted transfer from the point of failure,
and so on, in any sensible combination.
Switches have been added not only to the SEND command, but also to most other file-transfer commands, as well as to the CONNECT, SET LINE, SET HOST, DIRECTORY, DELETE, PURGE, TYPE, RENAME, COPY, STATISTICS, and others. Certain commands including DIRECTORY, DELETE, PURGE, and TYPE let you set default switches to match your preferences so you don't have to type them each time.
PATTERN MATCHING
A pattern is a string that includes special notation for matching classes or sequences of characters. C-Kermit 7.0 / K95 1.1.18 support patterns in several places:
- Filenames
- INPUT and MINPUT search strings
- SWITCH case labels
- The new IF MATCH statement
Patterns are also called wildcards, especially when used for filename matching, as they are in the UNIX version and in K-95 1.1.18. C-Kermit 7.0 supports the following notation:
- *
- Matches any sequence of zero or more characters. For example:
"ck*.c" matches all files whose names start with "ck" and end with ".c",
including "ck.c".
- ?
- Matches any single character. For example, "ck?.c" matches all files
whose names are exactly 5 characters long and start with "ck" and end with
".c". When typing commands at the prompt, you must precede any question mark
to be used for matching by a backslash (\) to override the normal function of
question mark, which is providing menus and file lists.
- [abc]
- Square brackets enclosing a list of characters matches any single
character in the list. Example: ckuusr.[ch] matches ckuusr.c and ckuusr.h.
- [a-z]
- Square brackets enclosing a range of characters; the hyphen separates the
low and high elements of the range. For example, [a-z] matches any
character from a to z.
- {string1,string2,...}
- Braces enclose a list of strings to be matched. For example: ck{ufio,vcon,cmai}.c matches ckufio.c, ckvcon.c, or ckcmai.c. The strings may themselves contain metacharacters, bracket lists, or indeed, other lists of strings.
BINARY MODE IS NOW DEFAULT
C-Kermit 7.0 and its derivatives (including Kermit 95 1.1.18 and later) go to extraordinary lengths to transfer every file in the most appropriate mode, text or binary, automatically. Only in a few rare cases will the automatic methods fail to determine the appropriate mode for a particular file. When they do, however, it is almost always better to use binary mode, since this leaves the file intact and unchanged, rather than changing its characters or record format, allows for recovery in case of broken transmissions, and in any case is more appropriate now that the majority of files being transferred are compressed tar archives, graphics images, and so forth. For this reason, the default file type (that is, the one that is used in the absence of any other information or instructions) in C-Kermit 7.0 has been changed from text to binary.
Of course you can change the default back to text simply by giving a SET FILE TYPE TEXT command (or putting it in your C-Kermit customization file) and you can also override the default and/or the automatic methods on a per-transfer basis (by using the new /BINARY and /TEXT switches on the SEND and GET commands) or even a per-file basis (by creating a SEND-LIST).
Also with this change comes the new SET FILE INCOMPLETE AUTO command, also the new default, which causes incompletely received files to be kept for binary-mode transfers and discarded for text-mode ones, since the main reason to keep incompletely received files is to allow recovery, which is possible only for binary-mode transfers.
AUTOMATIC TEXT/BINARY-MODE SWITCHING
C-Kermit 7.0 (and Kermit 95 1.1.16 and later) automatically choose the appropriate transfer mode, text or binary, for each file they send by following a rather complex procedure, which includes end-to-end "like system" recognition, whether character-set translation has been requested, and other factors. When the two ends recognize each other as "alike" (e.g. both are some form of UNIX) and character-set translation has not been requested, all files are transferred in binary mode. This improves performance, removes any possibility of "corruption" by inappropriate character-set or record-format conversions, and allows for recovery of interrupted transfers.
When the two systems do not recognize each other as alike, or character-set translation has been requested, the file sender chooses text and binary mode on a per-file basis by matching each file's name with a list of patterns. For example, if a file's name matches the pattern "*.txt" it is sent in text mode, whereas if it matches "*.zip" it is sent in binary mode. A comprehensive list of patterns is preconfigured, and commands are provided for you to edit the list, as well as to disable or re-enable this feature.
Filename pattern matching allows a file group to be sent between unlike systems (e.g. from UNIX to VMS) without having to separate the text and binary files, with full record-format and character-set conversion performed on text files, and binary files transferred without conversion, automatically. (NOTE: The filename pattern-matching feature is not used by VMS C-Kermit, which has a different method of accomplishing the same thing.)

PRESERVATION OF FILE PERMISSIONS
The UNIX and VMS versions of C-Kermit 7.0 now include each file's permissions (protection code) among the transmitted file attributes. This is useful mainly in UNIX to avoid loss of "execute" permission for programs or shell scripts during transfer. However, the mechanism also works across platforms so, for example, a UNIX file with execute permission will also have execute permission after being transferred to VMS (and vice-versa).

DIRECTORY-TREE TRANSFER
C-Kermit 7.0, when used in conjunction with Kermit 95 1.1.16 or later, MS-DOS Kermit 3.16 or later, or C-Kermit 7.0 itself, can perform "recursive" file transfers, in which all the (selected) files in the given directory are sent, plus all the files in all the subdirectories of the given directory, and all the files in their subdirectories, and so on.
Such transfers can take place not only between computers with similar file systems (such as Solaris and AIX), but also between dissimilar systems (like Windows 95 and HP-UX or VMS). Directories are created as needed during the transfer process.
Furthermore, any mixture of text and binary files can be accommodated via filename-pattern matching, as described above. This allows, for the first time anywhere (as far as we know) transfer of entire directory trees (entire file systems if you start at the root) between dissimilar computers in a single operation without the use of intermediate archives such as tar or ZIP.

FILE-TRANSFER PIPES AND FILTERS
In some versions of C-Kermit 7.0 (notably the UNIX version) it is now possible to pass outbound or incoming files through a "filter" as part of the transfer process. Similarly, it is now possible to send the output of an arbitrary command or program, or to receive into the standard input of a command or program. For example, you may now tell C-Kermit to send the output of a pipeline composed of tar and gzip, and another C-Kermit on the other end to receive to a pipeline composed of gunzip and tar. Or in case you have a text file written in a character set that C-Kermit doesn't know about, you can pass it through a translation filter. You can even use this feature to accomplish encrypted file transfers on connections that are not already encrypted otherwise.
PERFORMANCE
File-transfer performance has been improved in several ways:
- Internal tuning
- A new ability to "unprefix" the ASCII NUL (0) character
- A new "streaming" form of the Kermit protocol for use over reliable connections
- Quicker startup of autodownloads
- Fast Kermit protocol settings (long packets, sliding windows, conservative control-character unprefixing) are now the default
When full unprefixing and streaming are used with a large packet length, C-Kermit's file-transfer throughput is comparable with FTP; here are some typical text and binary file transfers between two UNIX workstations with the new C-Kermit over a local 10Mbps Ethernet (note the new brief file-transfer display option, the automatic switching between binary and text mode, and the new more-accurate statistics):
SENDING wart (binary) (23985 bytes): OK (0.040 sec, 599625 cps) SENDING wermit (binary) (1323517 bytes): OK (4.490 sec, 294769 cps) SENDING ckcnet.c (text) (269168 bytes): OK (0.790 sec, 340718 cps) SENDING ckwart.o (binary) (25332 bytes): OK (0.040 sec, 633299 cps) SENDING ckufio.c (text) (112341 bytes): OK (0.290 sec, 387382 cps) SENDING ckuusr.o (binary) (132340 bytes): OK (0.180 sec, 735222 cps) SENDING ckuus2.o (binary) (183168 bytes): OK (0.300 sec, 610559 cps) SENDING ckuus3.o (binary) (154492 bytes): OK (0.200 sec, 772459 cps) SENDING ckuus6.o (binary) (133128 bytes): OK (0.180 sec, 739599 cps)
C-Kermit 7.0 also responds much more quickly to connection loss and external interruptions during file transfer.
FAST OUT OF THE BOX
C-Kermit has included performance features like long packets for more over a decade, with others (sliding windows, control-character unprefixing, and now streaming) added over the years. Nevertheless, the popular perception is still that "Kermit is slow". This is due in part to the many third-party implementations that, indeed, are slow, as well to the persistence of fifteen-year-old Kermit programs from the Kermit project itself.
Of course modern Kermit protocol and software (since about 1990) can go as fast as you care to make it go, but its default tuning has always been for robustness rather than speed. It turns out, unfortunately, that first impressions matter most. If it's slow out of the box, few will make the effort to learn how to make it go fast, or to understand why it is delivered with slow tuning.
Therefore C-Kermit 7.0 is delivered with fast tuning:
- Today's connections are more reliable than those of the early years;
most connections nowadays are over networks or error-correcting,
flow-controlled modems.
- If file transfer fails to work because of the new default fast tuning, users are more likely to inquire about it or read the documentation than they were to do so when transfers did work, but worked slowly.
UNICODE
Kermit software, a pioneer in international text transfer since the 1980s, now adds Unicode (ISO 10646) -- the Universal Character Set (UCS) -- to its already large repertoire of character sets. Unlike traditional character sets, the UCS encodes all of the world's major scripts, and therefore allows true multilingual text.
Kermit protocol and software has included character-set translation capabilities for more than a decade, allowing conversion of text among the many "traditional" standard and proprietary character sets like the ISO 8859 Latin Alphabets, PC code pages, IBM mainframe EBCDIC code pages, ISO 646 national character sets, JIS, DEC, HP, DG, Macintosh, NeXT, etc.
With growing acceptance of Unicode, there is increasing need for importation of text in "traditional" encodings into Unicode platforms and applications, and also for export of Unicode text to non-Unicode environments. C-Kermit now offers these services over a wide range of platforms and communication methods.
- UCS-2 and UTF-8 are now supported as transfer character sets (the
small number of international standard character sets allowed "on
the wire" in Kermit file transfer; each Kermit file-transfer
partner converts between its local encoding and the transfer
encoding) (UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two different representations of
Unicode / ISO 10646).
- UCS-2 and UTF-8 are now supported as file character sets.
Incoming text can be stored in either UTF-8 or UCS-2, and
UCS-2 or UTF-8 text can be sent with conversion to any appropriate
file character set (including conversion of UCS-2 to UTF-8 or
vice-versa). Full "endianness" detection and control is included
for UCS-2.
- C-Kermit's TRANSLATE command can now be used to convert
traditional files to UCS-2 or UTF-8 (and, to the degree possible)
vice versa on the local computer.
- C-Kermit now supports UTF-8 on either end (or both) of a terminal
session, allowing (for example) a Latin-1 xterm or a PC with Code Page 850
to connect to a remote UTF-8 platform such as Plan 9 and send and
receive accented Roman letters (ditto for Greek, Cyrillic, etc), and it also
allows a UTF-8 platform to connect to a "traditional" one.
CLICK HERE for UTF-8 sample text in many languages
(which will look right only if your Web browser supports UTF-8 and has a
well-populated Unicode font).
- C-Kermit's TRANSMIT command can perform "ASCII" (nonprotocol) uploads of text files, converting them to UTF-8 on the fly. Or it can upload UTF-8 or UCS-2, converting it to some other set, etc etc. Similarly, remote text files can be "captured" in the terminal session with full translation.
Obviously when translating from Unicode to a smaller set, Unicode characters that are not in the smaller set are lost.

- Trouble with FTP?
- o CLICK HERE for FTP hints and tips; or:
- o Forget FTP -- Use Kermit!
- UNIX instructions:
- Download the desired zip or compressed tar archive from the
list above into an empty directory. Then:
- uncompress (uncompress, gunzip, unzip, etc, as appropriate)
- if it's a tar file, untar ("tar xvf cku197.tar");
- "make xxx", where xxx is the appropriate target from the makefile for your platform (read the comments at the top of the makefile).
You can also download individual UNIX binaries from the list below, but in case of library or other version mismatches, it is better to build from source if you can.
- VMS instructions:
- First fetch the most appropriate VMS binary from the
list below;
pick a VAX binary for a VAX or an Alpha binary for an Alpha. The VMS version
number for the binary must be less than or equal to your VMS version. If you
want to make TCP/IP connections, pick the binary for the appropriate TCP/IP
product (TGV Multinet, DEC UCX, Process Software TCPware, etc), again with a
version number less than or equal to yours; if none can be found, then try a
UCX version (since most non-DEC TCP products include built-in UCX emulation).
After downloading the chosen binary, read the
ckvins.txt file.
If you want to build from source code, fetch the VMS ZIP archive above if you have VMS-based unpacking tools, otherwise get the source files individually as described just below.
Source code and text files are also available separately in the kermit/f/ directory. These include files for platforms other than UNIX and VMS, such as Stratus VOS, Data General AOS/VS, OS-9, etc. See the ckaaaa.txt file for details.
NOTE: The UNIX, VMS, VOS, Amiga, OS-9, and AOS/VS source files are all at 7.0 level. The others (Macintosh, Atari ST) have not yet been upgraded to 7.0. Volunteers welcome. And of course anybody interested in porting C-Kermit to new platforms such as the IBM AS/400, Tandem, HP3000, etc, are more than welcome to contact us about it; we'll be happy to get you started.

INDIVIDUAL BINARIES
[ Go straight to binaries list ]
Individual binaries are available from the kermit/bin/ directory for those who can not build from source code. A C-Kermit binary is not a complete package; various text files (command and initialization files, scripts, and documentation) are also needed. These are included in the Zip and Tar archives.
Be sure to download C-Kermit binaries in binary (not ASCII or text) mode. Those marked with "+" are current; those without the "+" are from C-Kermit 7.0 test releases or, in some cases, C-Kermit 5A or 6.0; the C-Kermit edit number is visible in the first part of the file name.
IMPORTANT: These files are not Windows files and do not follow Windows naming conventions. You might need to right-click and choose "Save Link As..." in your web browser to force download rather than some other undesired action.
Naming Conventions: Filenames start with "ck" for C-Kermit, then one letter or digit to indicate the platform ("u" for UNIX, "d" for Data General AOS/VS, "v" for VMS, "i" for Amiga, "9" OS-9, "p" for Plan 9, etc). After that comes a three-digit edit number:
188: Version 5A(188), November 1992 through September 1993.Then a possible test-version designator: "a" for Alpha or "b" for Beta, followed by the 2-digit test number. Examples:
189: Version 5A(189), September 1993 through October 1994.
190: Version 5A(190), October 1994 through September 1996.
192: Version 6.0.192, September 1996 through December 1999.
193: Version 6.1.193, November 1996 through June 1998.
194: Version 6.1.194, June 1998 through December 1998.
195: Version 7.0.195, January 1999 through August 1999.
196: Version 7.0.196, September 1999 through final release 1 Jan 2000.
197: Version 7.0.197, January-February 2000.
cku196.xxx C-Kermit 7.0.196 final release cku197.xxx C-Kermit 7.0.197 (a platform added after 7.0.196 came out) cku196b11.xxx C-Kermit 7.0.196 Beta.11 cku192.xxx C-Kermit 6.0.192 final release
Test versions are included here only for platforms that do not have a final build available (usually because the machine disappeared or had an OS upgrade before the final C-Kermit release).
Note that edits 191, 193, 194, and 195 were never formally released.
The rest of the name is platform-dependent; in UNIX it's the name of the makefile target, optionally followed by specific hardware platform and/or OS version, when it makes a difference. In VMS it's the platform ("axp" (i.e. Alpha) or "vax"), then the VMS version number (e.g. "vms71"), and then TCP/IP product and version number (or "nonet" if TCP/IP support is not built in). And so on.
REMEMBER: It's often better to build your own binary than to run a prebuilt one, due to the ever-increasing likelihood of OS and/or library version mismatch.
After downloading, rename to "kermit" or "kermit.exe" (etc), as appropriate for your operating system and, if necessary, give execute permission, e.g. (in UNIX):
$ mv cku197.linux-i386-rh6.1 kermit $ chmod +x kermit
Also remember that before C-Kermit can be used to dial out from UNIX, it will probably also be necessary to give the Kermit executable a certain owner and group, and to set it suid and/or sgid bits, to allow it access to the dialout device and/or lockfile directory (the same as any other dialout software, such as cu or minicom).
Note that any executable C-Kermit 7.0 binary should also be accompanied by an assortment of text files -- documentation updates, installation instructions, hints and tips, etc; these are included in the tar and zip archives listed in the previous section.
Notes on the Binaries:
- "curses" refers to the fullscreen file-transfer display, used when
transferring files over dialout or network connections. It's nice but it
adds size and sometimes causes problems so if a "curses" version gives you
trouble, try a no-curses version. On platforms that have a choice between
"traditional curses" and "new curses" (ncurses), you might also have a choice
of binaries -- if one doesn't work, try the other.
- Likewise, some binaries come in TCP/IP and non-TCP/IP versions. If you
don't need to make TCP/IP connections with C-Kermit, choose the non-TCP/IP
version (if available). A TCP/IP-enabled binary might not run on
platforms that don't have TCP/IP installed.
- And some binaries come in optimized and non-optimized versions; this
refers to compile-time optimization. Choose the optimized version, but if it
gives you trouble, try the corresponding non-optimized one, if available (some
optimizers have bugs).
- Some binaries are available in gcc and non-gcc versions; that is, versions
built using two different compilers. If one gives you trouble, try the other
if available. Some compilers have bugs; some compilers support features that
other ones don't.
- Some HP-UX binaries (notably, the HP-UX 7.00 ones) are built for long
filename (255 chars) file systems, others for short-filename (14 chars)
systems. Choose the one that is appropriate for your file system.
- Some Linux binaries are linked with libc, some with glibc. Pick the one that is appropriate for your Linux system. Better yet, just build from source ("make linux" should work on any Linux system).
If you are able to make a binary not listed below

Notes:
- Stratus VOS binaries are structured objects
unsuitable for FTP. Those listed here have been encoded in text form; the
cklxtr.cm
macro extracts the binaries from the encoded versions. This can take a long
time, so more-efficient platform-specific decoder programs, also encoded in
hex format, can be downloaded, dehexified with cklxtr.cm, and then run to dehexify the larger VOS C-Kermit binary:
cklxtr-7100.hex,
cklxtr-i860.hex, and
cklxtr-m68k.hex.
You can also download VOS C-Kermit binaries in .save.evf.gz format
here.
- C-Kermit 6.0 was the last version to be built in a
usable form on 2.11BSD. C-Kermit 7.0 is just too big. However, a small and
rather snappy remote-only version of G-Kermit is
now available for 2.11BSD. The cku192.sr file is the strings module for
C-Kermit 6.0; you need to get both files (in binary mode). See the
ckubs2.mak
file for details.
- C-Kermit 7.0 is too big for the Tandy 16/6000; Version
6.0 works fine there. For remote-mode file transfers, use
G-Kermit, which loads much faster.
- Works in remote mode; it is not known if it can dial
out. Does not include network or curses support.
- Built on Sunsoft Interactive UNIX SV/386 R3.2 V4.1.1, and identical to that version except that no dup2() system calls are included, which cause core dumps on non-Interactive SV/386 R3.2 systems. Therefore REDIRECT, EXEC, and similar functions are missing.
