Awhile ago, the following message appeared in the newsgroup:
-------------------------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE ---------------------------
From: edu%"srd@mathcml.unl.edu" 17-SEP-1990 08:39:22.27
I obtained Kermit in the C version tailored for Apollos from the ADUS
archives. After considerable experimentation and examination, I still can't
make it do what I need. Here's a transcript of a session showing the
parameter settings and the problem of not being able to use kermit because
the line is not a typewriter (?!?):
......... ETC ........
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never heard anything else on the matter. We have the same problem on
our apollos and though I have tried recompiling, ftp'ing source and
binary from adus, nothing seems to work.
1. Does anyone know what the problem is?
2. Does anyone have kermit working on their Apollos running SR10.2?
Related to this problem ... whenever I FTP an executable from an apollo to
an apollo using the binary transfer type, then try to execute it,
I get the error message :
?(sh) syntax error on line 1 of "<filename>" - A control character
was found where it was not expected.
I must be missing something simple but I don't know what.
I really need some help - even if it is to find out that no one can
run kermit on the apollos (SR10.2) anymore.

I just got the standard C-Kermit from a local server (original is on watsun.cc.columbia.edu I think) and compiled it for BSD4.3 and it is working very well (we use it mainly to transfer files to/from AtariSTs over /dev/tty0x). Maybe you should NOT use those SPECIAL ADUSized versions. Re: FTP: use the "filetype" command.

Thanks very much for all the replies I received. I too, have kermit working on our system now. I ftp'd the source from watsun.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.39.2) and did a "make sr10-bsd". Thanks again, Lynda.

Does anyone have kermit working on their Apollos running SR10.2? Yes, we do. I got mine from ftp on kolvi.hut.fi and it has given me no problems what so ever. The one I got was the newest release, it's still a test version. But it has not broken yet. I could also put it up for anon-ftp on our site so that you can get it in binary form. > >Related to this problem ... whenever I FTP an executable from an apollo to >an apollo using the binary transfer type, then try to execute it, >I get the error message : >?(sh) syntax error on line 1 of "<filename>" - A control character > was found where it was not expected. >I must be missing something simple but I don't know what. If you bin-ftp something, it will get to you on disk as an unstruct file This means that it is a 'text' file. Now you can change the type with 'obty' and you can set it to either obj or coff. Use obj for SR9.7 programs use coff for SR10 programs. This worked for me without any problems, perhaps there are catches so be aware.
