GUIDE TO C-KERMIT 5A FILES AND FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS
C-Kermit is a family of Kermit programs for many different computer systems.
The program shares a common set of system-independent file transfer protocol
modules, written in the C language. System-dependent operations are collected
into system-specific modules for each system, or in some cases, selected via
conditional compilation (#ifdef) in the UNIX system dependent modules.
C-Kermit may be built for UNIX (BSD, AT&T, Ultrix, SUNOS, Xenix, many others),
DEC VMS and OpenVMS on VAX and AXP computers, Data General AOS/VS, IBM OS/2,
the Apple Macintosh, the Commodore Amiga, the Atari ST, and Motorola 680x0
computers with Microware OS/9.
C-Kermit file names are of the form:
CK<system><what>.<type>
where:
<type> is the file type (use lowercase on UNIX):
C: C language source
H: Header file for C language source
W: Wart preprocessor source, converted by Wart (or Lex) to a C program
