  • Kermit on RSX

    From Andy Valencia@vandys@vsta.org to alt.sys.pdp11 on Sat Aug 31 19:48:54 2024
    From Newsgroup: alt.sys.pdp11

    With the RPM from Johnny Billquist's server, the install of Kermit
    fails with:

    INS -- Common block not loaded DAPRES

    The good news is that I got networking up and teco installed, so
    life is good! With FTP available, the lack of Kermit isn't that
    big a deal.

    The reason for that is because you need some shared RMS libraries
    installed first, including DAPRES. That one is included in your system
    (or should be at least), but you need to uncomment the line in [1,2]STARTUP.CMD to get it automatically installed.

    Ah, it's not commented out, but under a conditional for DECnet
    (which I don't use). I'll try enable it unconditionally, but I'd
    rather do without than hassle with turning on an otherwise unneeded
    networking facility.

    (BTW, it's great to see you back on Usenet!)

    It would also be possible to build a version of KERMIT-11 without the
    remote filename specification capabilities, which would remove the DAP dependency.

    We'll see how long I survive. :-)
