Good Lord. That takes me back. I ported Kermit to the Computervision CGOS environment. It was very popular in the user community. Internally, it was used to transfer files between systems over the terminal concentrator when you didn't want to walk down to the machine room, scavenge a mag tape, and put up with FUTIL.

I had never heard of CGOS, but this is still up on the Kermit archive! https://kermitproject.org/archive.html Are you Val? Looks like you had to add some hacks to deal with long file naming conventions on CGOS but short filenames on CP/M.

I honestly don't remember. It took me a moment to even get back to TPL, a variation on RATFOR. I don't remember anything about the BYU conversion. That must have happened after I left CV.
