Data General Nova 4/x -- update on Kermit

Well with Bruce's help (and a bit of actually paying attention to what I was doing) I got Kermit to compile -- properly -- on RDOS. Kermit for RDOS consists of about 20+ smaller source files, separately compiled, and linked with the linking loader. THe source is D.G. FORTRAN5, and the output of a seemingly-lost RATFOR preprocessor. Kermit was archived as one big file containing all of the sources, with comments to indicate where to break them into files: CCCCCCCCCCCCC STDIO.FT CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC C code here.... ... Bruce game me an awk script that does it, but since I don't have any way to get files in/out to RDOS (except open-loop "text download" through the console) I did it locally with an nspeed command, looks like teco: 1WMGRKERMIT.FR$<NCCCCCCCCCCCCC ^T$T1BC1BS10KS $-1D1KBS0GCGW^B1$(^)!I;>GC$$ $ is escape key, ^T is Control-T, etc. < ... > is a loop; the semicolon is a conditional exit (if the search fails). N is "yank pages, copying to the output file, buffer-fulls of text until 'CCCCCCCCCCCCC ^T' is found". ^t means any number of space characters. The transmission line noise is really copying the current line, under the virtual cursor, to buffer 1, stripping the comments off the embedded filename and building a command to create anoutput file...
