I have the following comments. A: There are no multics utilities to parallel the nice TOPS-20 Library, unsqueeze, type , etc for the cpm files (that I know of). B: How do you transfer COM files to Multics. C: How do you transfer COM files from Multics if all you have is Kermit support and you like Modem7 - Unfortunetely I cannot edit the Kermit souce for my little apple disks. Kermit is too big for 114k. (Anyone that would like to configure Kermit for a SSC in slot 2 I would send them a disk and my gratitude) D: What do you do without library utilities on Multics and libraries bigger than your disk? Life seems to be simpler on TOPS-20 than Multics (at least until Kermit is a bit more common and more Multics utilities are available) Allan
