XTKERMIT: X-Window menu-based interface to Unix C-Kermit

This package contains a short xtpanel (X11R6 contrib or
ftp://sepftp.stanford.edu) script and a sample service
directory that allows you to send text strings, including,
of course, kermit commands, to a kermit session.
The package also provides and uses a "pipetype" command
which takes piped input and simulates keyboard entry
to an arbitrary terminal-based application.

After installing the xtpanel program, run ./configure
in this directory to build the Makefile.  The file
`INSTALL' details the installation process.

xtkermit uses the $(datadir)/xtkermit/services subdirectory
to set its menu choices.  It treats the name of each
file in that subdirectory as an automated dialup
service and extracts a menu of commands from the
corresponding file when its name is selected.

The format of a service file is a list of items:

item={ label="Fidelity 800" value="PDIAL 1800544555" }

You can use your own personalized set of services by
pointing the environment variable XTKERMIT to that
service directory.
