C-KERMIT SCRIPTS LIBRARY

Established:        20 April 1999.
Most recent update: 20 April 1999.

The scripts in this directory are listed below.

Those marked with (*) are "kerbang" scripts which can be used exactly like
shell scripts on UNIX if you give them execute permission:

  chmod +x scriptname

Command-line arguments are accepted in the expected manner, e.g.:

  autotelnet xyz.com myuserid

Note that the first line of each kerbang script looks like:

  #!/usr/local/bin/wermit +

(but without the indentation).  This indicates the pathname of the C-Kermit
executable that is to execute the script.  Change this line as needed.  The
trailing plus sign is required if command-line arguments are to be passed to
the script.

On non-UNIX platforms, scripts are executed either by giving a TAKE
<filename> command to Kermit, or (C-Kermit and K95 only) including the
script filename as the first command-line argument to the Kermit program.
The "kerbang" line has no effect, since it is a comment to Kermit.
