# Bootstrapping Kermit in to VAX/VMS

## Phase 1

Follow steps in the html file:
 * Transmit VMSMIT.HEX and VMSDEH.MAR.
 * Compile VMSDEH
 * Run VMSDEH
 * Dehexify VMSMIT.HEX
 * Run VMSMIT

You are now in Kermit-32

## Phase 2

This is what the guide doesn't tell you:
* Transmit CKVKER.HEX using kermit send/receive.
  Or put kermit-32 in to server mode.
* Dehexify CKVKER.HEX using VMSDEH.
* This should produce WERMIT.EXE
* Run WERMIT

You are now in an ancient version of c-kermit

## Phase 3

Use ancient c-kermit to transmit latest c-kermit:
* Trasmit CKV206.EXE
* Rename to KERMIT.EXE
* Run KERMIT

You are now in latest version of c-kermit
