All the files in the KERMIT distribution beginning with VMS are for the VAX/VMS implementation. There are no binaries, so recipients must build the KERMIT-32 program themselves on a VAX. Before following the instructions you will find in VMSMIT.DOC, do this: 1. Copy VMS*.* to your VAX. 2. Discard this file, VMSKERMIT.HLP. 3. On the VAX, rename VMSINSTAL.COM to INSTAL.COM. 4. Rename the remaining files to replace the initial VMS in the filenames with KER. For instance, VMSMIT.DOC becomes KERMIT.DOC. Now you can follow the instructions in KERMIT.DOC for installing VAX/VMS KERMIT.
