LEM0333@RITVAX.BITNET (05/09/88)
I just read the message about ProDos Kermit, and followed the
instructions. Now, however, I have another problem. First of all, it seems
that Kermit expects itself to be in the volume /RAM5/KERMIT. I simply took
out Zap and changed that to /KERMIT. But now I have another problem. The
KERMIT.INIT file isn't being read. Instead it says something about a call
at $40 27E6 and then at $40 511C, and that there is a bad prefix or some
such thing. Now I know that the prefix is fine, because everything else
works. It just won't load in KERMIT.INIT. Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks...

If you copied the 'B' file from DOS 3.3 to /RAM5/KERMIT and then copied it somewhere else, that might happen, I suppose. I've always used COPY 2+ to copy the DOS 3.3 'B' file directly to the directory I want Kermit to be in. I'm running it right now of a floppy with a volume name of /KERMIT and have no such problem. >out Zap and changed that to /KERMIT. But now I have another problem.

I assume you have KERMIT.INIT in the same directory as the KERMIT program? Kermit looks for KERMIT.INIT in whatever directory appears in response to SHOW PREFIX (at the KERMIT-65> prompt). That should (by default) be the same as the directory KERMIT was BRUN from, but I've seen that get messed up. There are two ways to fix. 1) a small txt file which, when EXEC'd runs Kermit BLOAD KERMIT3xx (where 'xx' is for whichever version you're running) PREFIX /path containing KERMIT.INIT CALL 4096 2) from the KERMIT-65> prompt: SET PREFIX /path containing KERMIT.INIT QUIT BSAVE /path for kermit binary/KERMIT3xx,A$1000,L$6F00 The second should patch your kermit binary so that when BRUN it will set the prefix to the path where it will find KERMIT.INIT and that should fix the problem. Some versions of Kermit have length L$6E00, the L$6F00 may save a few more bytes than needed, but it's safe. --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
