My only solution so far is to use MacKermit in server mode, but this requires that the kermit on the host end be either dumb or hacked. The idea is to give the host kermit the command 'get file*.c' and then quickly put MacKermit into server mode. I had no problem with an old version of Kermit-32 (VMS) last summer, and this school year managed to hack up C-Kermit enough to disable the check against that. ("You must 'set line' first" is the normal error) After disabling that check, C-Kermit accepted 'get file*.c' and would work. Does anyone have a nice batch file transfer ability worked out? It's a real necessity for some people. -Chris -- Chris Borton, UC San Diego Undergraduate CS; Micro Consultant, UCSD borton@sdcsvax.UCSD.EDU || ...!{ucbvax,decvax,noscvax,ihnp4,bang}!sdcsvax!borton "Was soll ich darauf sagen?"

My only solution so far is to use MacKermit in server mode, A big round of applause to the first eager beaver to post a RedRider 9.0 command file and a unix program which accomplishes this in an elegant way!! It should not be too hard. I have read over the new RR docs, and it seems as though it was designed ofr this type of thing. Only problem is, I don't yet have V9.0.
