[comp.sources.wanted] Ckermit enhancement sought

lwv@n8emr.UUCP (Larry W. Virden) (04/19/89)

Before I start hacking away at the ckermit code, does anyone know of any
existing modifications that allow ckermit on Unix to be called with an alternate
kermrc file?  From what I can tell, ckermit will use a .kermrc file if its
there or not.  What I am wanting to do is tell ckermit to start up and use
my .kerm.dial script instead of .kermrc .  ckermit is not being started
up in command mode, so I cannot do a take from the command line.  Also,
ckermit is being called by novice users, and so I would prefer to see said
users not worry about such things.  Currently the pgm that I am calling
just clobbers .kermrc and writes in what is desired - not very hospitable.
Then when it is done, it deletes it.  Again, nasty.  Now I can modify the
code to copy .kermrc, append the new info to .kermrc, start kermit, and
then reset things when all done, but I would prefer to see ckermit do this.
