If you have any programming languages at all on the
machine you could try
writing a uudecode utility and then uuencoding the kermit binary on another
machine, and doing the cut and paste you were talking about. You could
probably write a uudecode in DCL, but it would be slow, ugly, and nasty.
You shouldn't need to do that, especially to get KERMIT over. KERMIT-32
(the old Macro-32'ed BLISSengized version) includes a hexengized program
and a small dehexer. You type in the dehexer (which is written in MACRO-32)
and transmit the hexengized kermit using something like MS-DOS kermit's
TRANSFER command (which sends a line at a time) then use the dehexer to
dehex the hexengized version and voila! KERMIT up and running.
FTP on over to kermit.columbia.edu or web over to http://www.columbia.edu/kermit
and look about.
