To build KERMITFIX:
	$	BASIC/NOWARN KERMITFIX	! /nowarn required to suppress
					! "declining feature" messages
	$	LINK KERMITFIX

! Create the backup save_set to be transferred:
$ backup *.bas basic.bck/save_set/block_size=4096
                        ! the block_size must be a multiple of 512
$ dir/ful basic.bck
! Look for this line to find the block_size:
  Record format:      Fixed length 4096 byte records

$ r kermitfix
KERMITFIX - 19-Feb-1985
Backup file block_size <2048>? 4096
File to convert? basic.bck
Converting from Backup to Kermit format
Output file name <basic.bck>? 

$ dir/ful basic.bck;0
! note the change:
  Record format:      Fixed length 512 byte records

! Run kermit, transfer the file to another system (e.g. Rainbow)

! To transfer the file to another VAX, run kermit, set file type (!),
! transfer file:
$ kermit
VMS Kermit-32 version 3.0.051
Default terminal for transfers is: _TTC0:
Kermit-32>set file type fixed
Kermit-32>server
 . . . (file transfer)

! Transfer complete.  Connect to the target VAX, and convert the file
! back to save_set format.  The program knows if it is "Kermit-format" 
! (fixed 512-byte records) or save_set format (something else).
$ r kermitfix
KERMITFIX - 19-Feb-1985
Backup file block_size <2048>? 4096
File to convert? basic.bck
Converting from Kermit to Backup format
Output file name <basic.bck>? 

$ dir/ful basic.bck;0
! Note block size is back to 4096:
  Record format:      Fixed length 4096 byte records

! now the save_set can be restored, listed, whatever:
$ backup basic.bck/save . . .
