Hello John

Thankyou very much for your kind reply.

Yes it is a complete system.

I have checked Kermit in this system but I could not
find this S/W there. Might be my process was wrong.

And if it is there how can I access Kermit(how to find
wheather Kermit is there or not).
Is there any command for Kermit. Please suggest me how
to find wheather Kermit is there or not.

/********
Incase if kermit will not be installed then how can I
transfer the data.
********/

Basically it is the text data which I want to transfer
to the winnt PC. This system is having 8" floopy drive
& I also wants to transfer files from 8" floopies to
PC.

These files are important for me & I want to make
backup for these files into the another PC having WIN
NT.


Please advice me I will be very thankful to you.
I am in India.

Best regards

Kishore
