:Kermit.HLP (Kl-ERror free MIcro File-transfer COLUMBIA University)
							18-Mar-84 Version 3.8

The KERMIT protocol needs two programs running , understanding and serving the
connection  protocol.   For  simplicity , both programs are called KERMIT.  To
help discern ,the 8080-side echoes in Command-mode with KERMIT-80>  ..and  the
20-side  with  KERMIT-20>.   The  transfer  is  started  from  the  8080  (the
CPM-Micro).  In the following example "extra" program-typeout  has  been  left
out for readability.

SYS   UPLOAD (Micro to 20)	DOWNLOAD (20 to Micro)		Comments

Note:  CTRL  is  the  Control-key  ,  KERMIT-20  will  set right byte-size for
down-line loading.  KERMIT-20's default for up-loading to the -20  is  set  to
seven-bit. For full details, see KERMIT:20KERMIT.DOC,KUSER.DOC,KPROTO.DOC etc..
