                                MS-DOS Kermit
                                =============


Floppy disks #1 and #2 of the ARTA Kermit Release contain the necessary files
for installing and using version 2.32 of MS-DOS Kermit.  Basic instructions
are described below; for more detailed information, see the Kermit
documentation file (MSKERM.DOC).  The following files should be on disk #1:
MSKERM.DOC, MSKERMIT.INI, ALTKERM.INI, MASTER.DOC and MSKERM.INS (this file).
The only file on disk #2 should be MSKERMIT.EXE.  The file MASTER.DOC contains
an overview of the entire ARTA Kermit Release package - this document should
be read first.

Installing MSKERMIT
-------------------

To install MSKERMIT, copy the files MSKERMIT.EXE and one of the initialization
(.INI) files to an appropriate directory on the path.  Which initialization
file to use depends on the type of PC keyboard you have - the file MSKERMIT.INI
is for use with the OMNI 102 Keyboard.  If you will be using another keyboard,
copy the file ALTKERM.INI instead, but rename it to MSKERMIT.INI. The
initialization files contain commands to define keys for use with the ADAM
editor and other VT terminal applications, but are not necessary to run Kermit
itself.  To start Kermit, at the DOS prompt, type "MSKERMIT".  Note that the
file MSKERMIT.EXE should NOT be renamed to KERMIT.EXE, since the ARTA PC
Utilities all reference MSKERMIT, and will not work if they can't find it. For
tons more information on running Kermit, see the Kermit documentation in the
file MSKERM.DOC (disk #1).
