LCTERM is a program written by Larry Campbell of Digital Equipment Corporation
(on his own time) that provides both KERMIT and XMODEM file transfer protocol
for the DEC Rainbow 100 and 100+ under MS DOS, version 2.05 or later.  It is
written in the Computer Innovations C/86 language, with some modules in
MS DOS 8086 assembler.

To initially load this program on your Rainbow, you should boot from a CP/M
system disk, run CP/M-86 KERMIT to get the .EXE file onto your CP/M disk, and
then boot from an MS DOS system disk and use the RDCPM utility (provided with
Rainbow MS-DOS 2.05 for reading CP/M Rainbow disks) to copy the .EXE file to
your MS DOS disk.

The program is menu driven, using the Rainbow arrow and function keys.  Hint:
after connecting to the host in terminal mode, press the MAIN SCREEN key to
get the LCTERM menu back.  You may also type the INTERRUPT key to "push" to MS
DOS, leaving the terminal session intact, and you can EXIT from the pushed-to
DOS back to the terminal session.

The program is stored in the KERMIT distribution as RBLCTERM.  RBLCTERM.EXE is
the MS DOS executable (binary) program.  RBLCTERM.C is actually composed of
several source files concatenated together, separated by ">>>>>>>> filename"
markers.  The files are:

>>>>>>>> BUF.C
>>>>>>>> BUF.H
>>>>>>>> BYTES.H
>>>>>>>> DOSERROR.C
>>>>>>>> DOSFUN.ASM
>>>>>>>> ENVFETCH.C
>>>>>>>> HARDWARE.ASM
>>>>>>>> KERMIT.C
>>>>>>>> KERMIT.H
>>>>>>>> LCTERM.C
>>>>>>>> MENU.C
>>>>>>>> MODEM.C
>>>>>>>> RAINBOW.H
>>>>>>>> VID2.C
>>>>>>>> VIDEO.H
>>>>>>>> WINDOW.C

There is also a linker file, RBLCTERM.LNK, and a MAKE file, RBCLTERM.MAK.
The FinalWord/Scribe/PerfectWriter source for the documentation is in
RBLCTERM.MSS.  Finally, known problems are listed in RBLCTERM.BWR (the "beware"
file).
