MICROVAX/VMS TK50 KERMIT DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION November 1988 There are two TK50 Kermit distribution tapes, called TKV1 and TKV2. TKV1 is equivalent to Kermit tapes A, B, and E (popular micros - A, popular minis and mainframes - B, and online documentation - E). TKV2 is equivalent to Tapes C, D, and E (less popular micros, minis & mainframes, plus documentation). These tapes are readable on MicroVAX/VMS systems with BACKUP (not COPY). To read all the files from the tape cartridge: 1. SET DEFAULT to the directory under which you want the various Kermit subdirectories created. 2. Physically mount the TK50 cartridge, and type "MOUNT $TAPE1/FOREIGN". 3. Type "BACKUP/LOG $TAPE1/SAVE [.*]". If you only want certain files, replace step 3 with something like: 3. BACKUP/LOG $TAPE1:/SAVE/SELECT=[KERMIT-2]VMS*.* *.* (This will get just the VMS Kermit files.) After some time has passed -- 30-60 minutes for the whole cartridge -- the files should be in several subdirectories of your current directory (or wherever you told BACKUP to put them). In the normal case these subdirectories will have names like [.KERMIT], [.KERMIT-2], [.KERMIT-5], etc. For a current list of available Kermit versions, documentation, ordering information, and a statement of commercial policy, write to: Kermit Distribution Columbia University Center for Computing Activities 612 West 115th Street New York, NY 10025 For further information about Kermit, consult the Kermit User Guide or the book "Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol" by Frank da Cruz, Digital Press, Bedford MA 01730 (1987), order number EY-6705E-DP, call 1-800-343-8321 to order.
