C-KERMIT FOR THE ATARI ST
********************************************************************************
********************************************************************************
Author: Rene R. Sugar, Victoria, B.C., Canada
C-Kermit for the Atari ST contains built-in shell commands to provide local
and remote file operations.
When C-Kermit is in server mode and receives a remote command the output is
written to a temporary directory set by the tmpdir command. The resulting
file is read and sent to the remote user as a "piped" command. After the
command is finished, the temporary file containing the output is erased.
The commands are as follows:
dir [-d] file-spec directory listing (one screen at a
time, type 'q' or 'Q' to quit)
-d list directories only
cwd path-spec change current working directory
mkdir directory-name make a directory
rmdir directory-name remove a directory
pwd path to current working directory
delete [-f] file-spec interactively delete files
('y' delete, 'n' next, 'q' quit)
-f force interactive mode off
rename old-filename new-filename rename a file
df free space on current disk drive
copy source-file destination-file copy a file
move [-c] file-spec directory-name move files to a directory
-c copy files to directory
without erasing them
type file-spec show contents of files on screen
print filename print a file
date [[YYYYMMDD]HHMMSS] change the date and/or time
displays the system date and time if
no argument is specified
tmpdir [path-spec] set temporary directory for "piped"
commands or show setting
homdir [path-spec] set home directory or show setting
reverse toggle reverse of text and background
clear clear the screen
wrap toggle word wrap
help subject-area gives usage of commands or a list of
commands if subject-area is help
To enter the built-in "shell", type an exclamation mark alone on the C-Kermit
command line. To exit the shell, type 'exit' or Control-D.
The home directory where C-Kermit looks for your init file, kermit.ini, is
\usr\ckermit. Typing 'cwd' on the C-Kermit command line will make your home
directory the current directory.
The directory where temporary files are written for "piped" commands is
\tmp. If your C-Kermit program is not acting as a server, this directory is
not necessary.
