The following document will explain how to get from the C source files to the final .HQX file. The files CKC*.[CWH] come directly from Frank's most current C-Kermit source. This is presently in Frank's ~fdc/ck4c directory. The definitive directory for the remaing files is ~bill/billker. The files are named ckm*.*. Bill's Makefile will make MacKermit (remember to also keep a current copy of the Makefile as ckmker.mak for distribution purposes). Download the resulting resource file ckmker.rsrc to the Mac. If you use Kermit tell it "set file type binary" or it won't work. After the file gets to the Mac run SetFile, set the creator to KERM, turn on the bundle bit and push the "set it" button. The icon should now appear when you exit from SetFile. Run BinHex. Under the file menu first pull down "Add linefeeds" and then "Application to Upload". This will create a ckmker.hqx file. Send it back to the VAX. Send the file ckmker.rsrc, with binary set on both Kermits, from the VAX to the -20 (when using ftp from Unix to the DEC-20, say "tenex" first, which tells the DEC-20 server to store with 8-bit bytes). Send ckmker.hqx to the -20 with binary off on both sides. Send over any other files necessary to update the Kermit directory (KER:) on the -20. SUMACC rmaker only allows 50 resources types per compile, our ckmker.rc file has passed that limit so if you need to run rmaker, recompile with NRESCOMP = 100 or so.
