# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| ckermit: ckermit (program implementing the kermit file-transfer protocol) ckermit: ckermit: Kermit is the name of a file-transfer protocol and a suite of computer ckermit: programs that implement that protocol as well as other communication ckermit: functions.
