Kermit-P/OS seems to work with Kermit-32 for ASCII files, and with
BINARY mode from VAX to P/OS as long as the binary file is a 'block'
flavor one (R.FIX/512 bytes), with 8-bit I/O.  I haven't done any
tests with Kermit-32 in "FILE_TYPE BLOCK" mode to see if task images
etc. can be moved from the PRO to the VAX.

Kermit-P/OS currently spawns the PRO Communications for terminal
emulation.  The file transfer sub-task, KFI, takes a Unix-ish command
line from KERMIT.  It is by far the easiest to use the KERMIT control
task as you'll see...

Usage:
	KFI [s|r|g|q|e][ifd[d]]b <speed> [file ...]

	s = send (server or non-server)
	r = receive (non-server)
	g = get (server)
	q = logout remote server
	e = finish remote server

	f = do not strip filenames to "normal form"
	i = image mode (requires 8-bit I/O)
	d = debug (norm)
   dd = verbose debug

	b <speed> = baud rate (defaults to 1200)

If no file is given, an appropriate file selection menu will appear.
Once the transfer starts, operation should be obvious.

The parent task, KERMIT, will save the settings for baud rate and
ASCII/IMAGE transfer mode in a file which it automatically creates if
it is not there, in [ZZSYS].

If you want to rebuild  KERMIT  so it'll run as a program  from  DCL,
you'll have  to define  the symbol  TESTING  and  re-assemble.   This
enables code which opens the menu and help files.  The application
flavor depends on the ASSIGN/MENU and ASSIGN/HELP lines in the .INS
file for this, as the C library doesn't yet translate APPL$DIR, so
the menu & help file opens from inside Kermit won't work.  Instead,
move the KERMIT.MNU and KERMIT.HLP files to your default directory
and recompile with TESTING defined.  One last caution ... if the
logicals APPL$HELP and/or APPL$MNU are defined, the "program" flavor
will fail to open the files.  Just deassign the logicals.

Ah ... I have also left some (hopefully) handy tools in [.posutil].
There is documentation on them.  The most useful is SRD, which will
re-order your directories, search for locked and/or zero-length
files, give quick listings in sorted order & more.  The file
DCLSRD.HLP is set up to be hooked into the help stuff by editing
DCL.HLP in [001002] to add SRD as a category in MORE.  DOB is the
famous object module & object library disassembler.  Handy for poking
around in undocumented corners of the libraries & getting symbol
definition listings without having to link a phoney program.

	Have fun ...
