Comments on Running Kermit 2.31 for the IBM PC under MS-Windows:

Kermit 2.31 will successfully run "in a window" with Microsoft Windows and
will accept cut and pasted information.  Scripts and phone dialing instructions
are cases of cut and paste replacing the keyboard.  Use the PIFEDIT program to
construct a .PIF file for Kermit, following the guidelines below.

Program name:           KERMIT.EXE or whatever is the name of the Kermit file.
Program title:          MS-DOS Kermit 2.31
Program parameters:     Leave blank since this becomes a command line.
Initial directory:      The directory where KERMIT.EXE is stored.
Memory Requirements:    100 KB Required, 148 KB Desired
Directly Modifies:      Clear all boxes (pretend Kermit is very good)
Program Switch:         Check the Text box
Screen Exchange:        Check the Graphics/Text box
Close Window on exit:   Check the box

Comments.  Although Kermit does direct writes to the screen it does so in a
"TopView aware" manner.  One may check or leave empty the COM1 or COM2 boxes
even though Kermit does directly modify the serial port.  Kermit will block
(XOFF) if left running as an icon, but it will run smoothly while sharing the
screen with other tasks.  Communications throughput is limited by Windows'
character drawing speed.  Screen dumps ( ^] F or Control End) will be of
Kermit's underlying full screen.  In summary, tell Windows that Kermit is
exceptionally well behaved.
