When sending, make filenames more “Unix-like” and places a “.bin” after the name during macbinary transfers.
When receiving, make filenames more “Mac-like”.
This does not affect names placed into or extracted from macbinary headers.
If the remote Kermit supports it, send a document’s length before the document’s data.
If your application supports CTB autoreceive, go into receiving mode when a mark char is received.
Avoid using this feature.
Use macbinary I is now disabled because macbinary is not selected from the “transfer as:” popup menu.
Return all of Kermit Tool GH's parameters to their original values.
Accept as being macbinary those incoming documents which meet the specifications of the less stringent macbinary I format.
Use 8th bit prefixing even through supposedly 8-bit channels in case there is an intervening 7-bit channel.
Avoid using this feature.
Save the current settings as the defaults when switching back from other tools or configuring new communications sessions.
Method uses three characters to represent the cyclic redundancy check of a packet’s data.
Method uses two characters to represent the sum of a packet’s data.
Method uses one character to represent the sum of a packet’s data.
If incoming documents have macbinary headers, they are decoded. Outgoing documents have headers generated for them.
Applications may be transferred with this method.
Be sure to set the remote Kermit's file type to binary.
Document is not modified.
Be sure to set the remote Kermit's file type to binary.
Incoming documents have all line feeds removed. Outgoing documents have line feeds inserted before all carriage returns.
Character which precedes compression of several consecutive occurences of same character into three characters
Default = 126 "~"
Character which ends each packet
Default = 13 <<CR>>
Character to precede an encoded character whose eigth bit is used (ASCII 128-255). Used only over 7-bit channels or if "force 8th bit prefixing" is checked.
Default = 38 "&"
Character to precede encoded control character (ASCII 0-31 and 127)
Default = 35 "#"
Character to act as buffer between packets
Default = 0 <<NULL>>
Character to begin packets.
Default = 1 <<SOH>>
Set Document Type:
Set the values of the creator
and type fields by selecting
either a similiar document or
an application to open incoming documents.
default type:
A four character token representing the incoming document’s format.
Examples:
TEXT = text document
GIFf = gif file
If you do not happen to know what to enter, use the “Set Document Type…” button.
default creator:
A four character token representing the application you wish to open incoming documents.
Examples:
ttxt = TeachText
R*ch = BBEdit (a good, free editor)
If you do not happen to know what to enter, use the “Set Document Type…” button.
Set the method in which incoming and outgoing documents are treated.
Sets the number of seconds the remote computer waits before reacting to an absence of communication.
Set the method of error detection.
Set the number of “Pad Characters”.
Infrequently a series of characters must be sent between packets to act as a buffer.
The character sent is accessable from the special character popup.

This shows the symbolic representation of the current special character. For example <<SOH>> will appear if “1” is entered.
Type in a number corresponding
to a character.
For example:
“1” = control-A = <<SOH>>
“35” = “#”
Select a character type to edit.
The Kermit protocol assigns special functions to a set of characters, such as the character that ends each packet.
You should not need to change any of these.
Enable a primitive form of data compression known as run length compression. This can shorten transfer times especially for text documents.
Set the packet length by
entering a number between 10
and 9024. The larger the packet length the faster the transfer rate over a clean connection.
The remote Kermit program must support this longer length and there must be enough available memory.
Set the packet length from a predetermined list. The larger the packet length the faster the transfer rate over a clean connection.
