Major revision: 1990 March @SC90072 00002000 * See the version and system symbols below under 'Constants' @SC86268 00003000 * Copyright (C) 1982, 1985 Columbia University 00004000 * 00005000 * Permission is granted to any individual or institution to copy or 00006000 * use this program, except for explicitly commercial purposes. 00007000 * 00008000 * This program is the IBM 370 side of a file transfer system. It 00009000 * can be used to transfer files between a micro and a system running 00010000 * under various operating systems. See the KERMIT User's Guide 00011000 * and Protocol manual for the complete program specifications. 00012000 * 00013000 * All assembly-language Kermits for IBM 370's are derivatives of 00014000 * Kermit-CMS 1.00, although some (including the current version) have 00015000 * passed through more-or-less complete rewriting. The following is a 00016000 * summary of the versions leading to the present one, which is actually 00017000 * a generic family of Kermits with specific members for various 00018000 * operating systems. 00019000 * 00020000 * Daphne Tzoar, Columbia University Center for Computing Activities 00021000 * March 1982, Kermit-CMS Versions 1.00-2.01 00022000 * 00023000 * Ronald J.
