DOWNLOADING ARTA KERMIT STUFF ----------------------------- ****** The files in the SHARE:[PCSTUFF...] directories assume your ****** ****** PC system has the Automation Group's recommended directory ****** ****** setup. If your system does not, we suspect you know enough ****** ****** about PC's to change the files to get them to work correctly ****** ****** on your system. ****** o Print the file ARTA_UTIL.DOC for information on how to use the PRINT and MAIL commands. o Delete the old KERMIT files: At the DOS prompt, type "CD C:\COMM\KERMIT" and press the key. Delete the following files (whichever files are present): PRINT.SCR, MAIL.SCR, and CGM.SCR. Then at the DOS prompt, type "CD \BAT" and press . Delete CGMPLOT.BAT, CHKMAIL.BAT, LPRINT.BAT, LAPRINT.BAT, MAIL.BAT, SPRINT.BAT and WPRINT.BAT. If you do not delete these files, Kermit will rename the files you are going to be transferring to avoid overwriting the existing files of the same name. o Change directory to C:\COMM\KERMIT by typing "CD \COMM\KERMIT" and pressing the key. o Run KERMIT: at the C:\COMM\KERMIT> prompt, type "KERMIT" and press . o At the MS-Kermit> prompt type "C" (for Connect), and press the key until you see the familiar "Welcome to ... Enter Resource" prompt. o Log on to the VAX as you would if you were using a standard terminal. o Set default to SHARE:[PCSTUFF.PCKERMIT] on the VAX by typing "SD SHARE:[PCSTUFF.PCKERMIT]". o At the VAX prompt type "KERMIT". The VAX version of Kermit will start up and give the prompt: Kermit-32>. o To the VAX Kermit prompt type "SERVER" and press . o Press ^]C (that is, while holding down the CTRL key, press the right bracket key, release both keys and then press C). The Kermit prompt will change to: MS-Kermit>. o Latest version of Kermit executable: Type "GET KERMIT30.EXE" and press . (This will take a few minutes.) o ARTA Kermit initialization files: There are two initialization files: STANDARD.INI and AT.INI. If you have an XT, PC or compatible, at the MS-Kermit> prompt type "GET STANDARD.INI" and press . If you have an AT or compatible, and an extended keyboard, at the MS-Kermit> prompt type "GET AT.INI" and press . o Script files: In order to use any of the mail commands, the file MAIL.SCR is REQUIRED; to use any of the print commands, PRINT.SCR is REQUIRED. To use the CGMPLOT command, you will need CGM.SCR. At the MS-Kermit> prompt type "GET MAIL.SCR" and press . This will transfer the file MAIL.SCR to your PC. Then, at the MS-Kermit> prompt type "GET PRINT.SCR" and press . This will transfer the file PRINT.SCR to your PC. If you want to CGMPLOT, type "GET CGM.SCR" and CGM.SCR will be transferred. o At this point, you need to change directory on the PC to C:\BAT. At the MS-Kermit> prompt type "PUSH" and press . You should see the DOS prompt C:\COMM\KERMIT>. Type "CD \BAT" and press . You are now in the proper directory. To reconnect to Kermit, type "EXIT". Now you are ready to transfer the .BAT files. o At the MS-Kermit> prompt type GET KERMIT30.BAT. o PRINT commands: If you want to print straight ASCII files to the laser printer, you'll need the file LPRINT.BAT. To the MS-Kermit> prompt type "GET LPRINT.BAT" and press . If you want to print to the DataProducts laser printer, GET DPRINT.BAT. If you want to print to the laser printer in landscape mode, GET LAPRINT.BAT. If you want to print to the line printer, GET SPRINT.BAT. If you have WordPerfect, GET WPRINT.BAT. If you would like to be able to convert .CGM files (such as may be created using COREL DRAW) to .4510 or .QMS files and print them on the Tek plotter or the QMS laser printer, GET CGMPLOT.BAT (for documentation, GET CGMPLOT.DOC). o MAIL commands: As above, transfer MAIL.BAT and CHKMAIL.BAT to your PC. o To the MS-Kermit> prompt, type "BYE" and press . You should now be back at the DOS prompt. o Delete MSKERMIT.EXE (or KERMIT.EXE) and MSKERMIT.INI from C:\COMM\KERMIT. RENAME KERMIT30.EXE to KERMIT.EXE. o Delete KERMIT.BAT from C:\BAT and rename KERMIT30.BAT to KERMIT.BAT. o If you transferred AT.INI, you should edit it to add your VAX specific information to the function key definitions (found in the section "Set Function Keys"): - F1 is defined to be your LOGON ID - replace "yourname" with your VAX user name and delete the word "comment" from the beginning of the line. - F2 is defined to be your Decnet address - again, replace "yourname" with your VAX user name and delete the word "comment". - F10 is defined to invoke your TERM.COM (terminal protection) command file - replace "yourdisk" and "yourdir" with the disk and directory specification of your TERM.COM, and delete the "comment". o Rename AT.INI or STANDARD.INI (whichever file you transferred) to MSKERMIT.INI.
