When you receive the install programs (APP385.1 and APP385.2) they are text files. The first file is exec'd on a DOS 3.3 slave disk (meaning no DOS on the disk itself) containing both of the text files and NOTHING else. Then you need to copy the main program and all of the config files over to a ProDOS disk to operate the thing under ProDOS. This is DESCRIBED IN DETAIL in the Kermit documentation sheet, available via listserv or FTP at a NUMBER of places.

Yes, I know that now. And it's been explained to me that Kermit 3.85 uses Applesoft hooks to perform file I/O, so it doesn't have to know which OS it's running under. Please, people. Don't respond just to respond. I think there are at least three public net messages outlining the fact that I am now informed correctly.

Applesoft doesn't have any "hooks" to do file I/O... that's all handled
by DOS 3.3 or BASIC.SYSTEM (ProDOS).
It's possible that Kermit was designed to determine which OS was
installed and then run under either by having separate "drivers" for
the two OS's. (I am using the term "drivers" here very loosely... I
mean routines that open, close, etc files under the two OS's.) But it
wouldn't be done by calling Applesoft routines.

My apologies. I thought I might get in trouble with that statement. I should have said, the DOS I/O hooks that Applesoft makes use of. >It's possible that Kermit was designed to determine which OS was >installed and then run under either by having separate "drivers" for >the two OS's.

I thought that was likely, too. However, I've been informed that it really does use the same methods as Applesoft. All you have to do is supply the proper output for performing }ithe "OPEN", "WRITE", "READ", "CLOSE", etc. commands, just as you would via Applesoft PRINT statements.
