The files called  FLXPTn.TXT  (n=1..6) make up the Flex 9 source for
a limited form of Kermit.  This particular Kermit was a result of work 
by a former member of staff at Brighton Polytechnic.  It is in use on
SWTP hardware, and has the following menu:

  0  Terminal to line
  1  Return to Flex
  2  File send from Flex
  3  File receive to Flex
  4  Close server
  5  Monitor on
  6  Monitor off

As you can see, not quite like the other versions!
There is no numeric display to show how the transfer is progressing: 
"s" is displayed for each Flex-sent packet, and "r" for received
packets.  If the "monitor on" command has been used, the packets
will be displayed on the console device.

Terminal to line uses  CTRL-D  to return to command menu.  Other
options should be self-explanatory.  

One bug:  the FCBs don't seem to be properly freed... once a transfer
has completed, the next transfer will always fail with "File already
in use" and that is repeated whatever the files actually used (ie it
happens when a different file is named, not just the same file name).

I split the source up into a few files, in case you have problems
with your editor.  Briefly, they are ...

  FLXPT1.TXT   description, some definitions
  FLXPT2       some of the routines for queue handling
       3       more routines, and Kermit messages
       4       receive section
       5       send section
       6       more routines, work on packets

In the source, you will find STTL assembler directives to give the
listing sub-titles.  A list (to help if you want to edit source)
of where the STTL references occur is in FLXSTTL.TXT.
