Reader Reviews
This review is from: Using Ms-DOS Kermit (Paperback)
This book is old. The software comes on a five and a quarter diskette. I am surprised the disk was still available. Not sure if the disk works since I do not have the drive on any of my computers. This does teach you about DOS Kermit, a file transfer program with terminal emulation features. The commands of Kermit are self documenting. The language can be scripted and is capable of accessing a lot of the potential of model software, especially dated systems. I found it an interesting read but I do not believe I will gain any resume points for having learned it.
