I saw this file on a BBS a while back (before word started to
get around that it was a fake).  I almost downloaded it, but
figured something was fishy when I saw that the size of the arc
file was very much smaller than the previous version (2.4.2).
I know the next version of Procomm is supposed to have all sorts
of great new features.  I'm sure they didn't add them by deleting
code.
