And, how do you get Kermit onto the machine in the first place? That's
the catch, isn't it? If you have Kermit you can transfer arbitrary
binaries, but transferring kermit.sv isn't going to be transferred that
way. So, you use what I mentioned: the K12ENC and K12DEC utilities that
come with Kermit. Those allows arbitrary files to be transferred as
they're encoded along the way.
Or, push the source a bit at a time (as above), compile, and hope it
wasn't corrupted. That's why the encoded forms are better.

Text files will transfer without special handling with kermit. Only
binary files need encoding. On a related note, what's the easiest way to
transfer a large swath of
text, like BUILD.PA, to OS/8 through the console TTY?
Smaller files:
.R PIP
FILE.PA<TTY:/A
Then just feed it. PIP appears to give up at some point, so I split
and rejoin. Painful.
Or, use the Kermit-12 utilities to pack and unpack.
