Summary: ProcommPlus "extras"


It looks like the folks at DATASTORM are maturing into fine American
Capitalists.  If you will look closely at the documentation that came with
ProcommPlus, you will notice that what you are running is NOT the real
ProcommPlus, but a stripped down version.  The REAL product which may be
ordered from DATASTORM has a keyboard mapping feature which was one of the
deficiencies of the original Procomm 2.42. I have an idea that this mapping
feature will let you map any key with any code you want. But you gotta
PAY for it.

My preliminary tests of ProcommPlus show that it won't transfer files to
a UNIX system using Kermit.  Procomm 2.42 does this just fine.  If you attempt
to transfer a file to a UNIX system with Kermit set to receive, ProcommPlus
will NOT terminate the kermit receiver when the transfer is complete.  This
is quite an inconvenience because you are left with a UNIX connection stuck
in kermit protocol that must time out before you can continue.

So much for Capitalists...
