[comp.sys.atari.st] Gem Kermit in Starter Kit

JArnold@DOCKMASTER.ARPA.UUCP (01/30/87)

I just recieved the starter kit from John Franco.  Most of the utilities
work just fine.  However, I have not been able to get kermit to
function.  I found two kermit files 'kermit.pqg' and 'kermit.rqs'.
Neither of these are executable.  I changed the names to 'kermit.prg'
and 'kermit.rcs', respectively, and now when I execute kermit.prg, I get
a TOS error #35.  I don't know what that error is, nor do I know why the
program won't run.  Help!!!  Can someone tell me how to get the kermit
to execute, or mail me a copy that will.  Thanx in advance.

I just checked and found a file in the STarter Kit that says that any
file with a .xqx extension (where x is any alpha-numeric character) must
be unsqueezed using ezsqueeze.  Simply run ezsqueeze, locate the
squeezed kermit files in the fsel_inp  generated window, double click
on those files and copies of the original program will be created.

IMPORTANT:  do not unsqueeze on the original disk - you will be asking
            for trouble if you do.  Instead, install one of the ramdisks
            (The Intersect ramdisk would probably be the easiest),
            copy the kermit files to the ramdisk and unsqueeze there.
            Alternatively, copy the kermit files to a freshly formatted
            disk and unsqueeze there.
