XSEND (stored in the Kermit distribution as MSIXSE)

XSEND is a program to generate TAKE (script) files for MS-DOS Kermit to allow
it to send files and directories to a server over entire tree branches or
disks.  This version generates commands with absolute path names, and therefore
works only between MS-DOS systems.

To send a directory tree from one MS-DOS system to another, change directory to
the desired directory below which you wish all files and subdirectories copied.
Then run XSEND redirecting the output with the DOS redirection symbol ">" (e.g.
"XSEND > takeme").  Before proceeding, look at the command file and make sure
it's doing what you want.  Then establish a connection to the remote system
with Kermit, and put the remote Kermit in server mode.  Then just TAKE the take
file on the local system.

Perhaps a useful extension might include passing arguments for remote and local
prefix strings to allow relative paths (e.g. ".") or drive letters etc.
Relative pathnames would allow this procedure to work between MS-DOS and other
kinds of systems that have similar directory structure, e.g. UNIX.  Suggestions
for simple and easy to use command syntax are welcome.
