After trying to install wincomm (from a floppy disk after
unzipping wincomm4.zip) according to the wincomm.txt file, I was
unable to get a working copy, already expired.  It is not
November 1 yet so I expected it to work.

My major complaint with the WinComm "Demo" is the trial period is
far to short.  This program was uploaded to an archive site
(archive sites usually have files archived for a long time) and
having the "Demo" be good for only 2 or 3 weeks is ridiculous.
It normally takes me 2 to 3 months after I get a communications
package to determine if it will meet all of my needs.  This
2 or 3 week period is costly of my resources as well as the
"nets".  If a "Demo" is going to be uploaded to an archive site
it should be good for a length of time relative to the
installation date.

Just my thoughts...
