***************************
Distribution File Inventory
***************************

Kermit for Windows is distributed in two separate formats.  As a
16 bit application for Standard Windows and as a 32 bit application for
Windows NT.  The author supplies both versions as a zip file.

KMW077.ZIP       Kermit for Windows (16 bit application)
KMN077.ZIP       Kermit for Windows NT (32 bit application)

Each of the above distribution archives contain the same files.

KERMIT.EXE       Kermit for Windows executable program file
KERMIT.HLP       MS Windows Help File for Kermit
KERMTTY.TRM      Teletype terminal emulation dynamic link library
KERMANSI.TRM     IBM-PC ANSI terminal emulation dynamic link library
KERMDEC.TRM      DEC VT-102 terminal emulation dynamic link library
KERMIT.WRI       Program documentation in Microsoft Windows Write format
README.TXT       Important installation/usage information
CTL3DV2.DLL      Windows DLL for 3D effects in dialog boxes

******************
Session Save Files
******************

The format of the data (session) files for this release is the same as
version 0.76.  If you are upgrading from a release earlier than 0.76,
you must manually recreate each of your session save files for
this release (I considered writing a conversion program, but decided this
release had been held up long enough).

************
Installation
************

Although there is no installation "program", Kermit for Windows is
extremely easy to install.  Starting from a dos prompt (outside of Windows 
or in a Windows DOS box), just create a directory for the program 
(ex. md c:\kermit).  Then make that directory your current working 
directory (ex. cd \kermit).  Then use pkunzip to decompress all the 
files in the archive (ex. pkunzip kmw077.zip).  Finally, determine if you
already have a copy of the CTL3DV2.DLL file in your Windows system
directory.  If you don't, copy the CTL3DV2.DLL supplied with Kermit for
Windows to this directory.  If you already have a copy of this file in
your Windows system directory, check its file modification date.  If the
CTL3DV2.DLL supplied with Kermit for Windows is newer, copy the file.  In
any case you MUST delete the CTL3DV2.DLL file from your Kermit for Windows
directory or you will receive a message indicating that CTL3DV2.DLL is
incorrectly installed.

Note that you must use pkunzip version 2.04 or greater to correctly
expand the kermit archive.

**********
Emulations
**********

As you may have noticed above, I have added a new emulation library,
specifically KERMDEC.TRM.  I had previously attempted to do something
between true DEC and true IBM-PC ANSI emulation in the KERMANSI.TRM
emulation library.  In this release, the KERMANSI.TRM library does a
very limited emulation that corresponds closely to the features of the
ANSI.SYS driver supplied with DOS.  Most users will now want to use the
KERMDEC.TRM emulation library which does a MUCH better job of emulating
a DEC VT-102 terminal.  To set the emulation, choose Session from the
Configure Menu and select the desired emulation (ex. kermdec) from the
Session Settings Dialog and then choose OK.

*************
Documentation
*************

The primary documentation for this program is contained in the file
KERMIT.WRI.  This is a Windows Write formatted file.  To view or
print the documentation, start Windows Write from inside of Windows
and open the Kermit documentation file.  You may then scroll through
the documentation or print it by choosing Print from the File Menu.

New to this relase is an online Windows Help File (courtesy Matthew Smith).

Thank You

I wish to thank all of the current users of this program who have
provided both suggestions and good wishes.  I regret that my limited
time prevents me from enhancing this software in a more timely manner.

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
