I did not edit the newsgroups line and remove comp.sys.ibm.pc because some
IBM people may be interested in this too if they are going to transfer from
an Apple to an IBM.

ProTerm is -NOT- freeware/shareware as was implied above. It is a commercial
product that is well worth the investment. It is the best terminal program
I've ever used. Ascii Express comes in a fairly distant second. {No wonder
that ProTerm now seems to be the program almost everyone uses but AE was the
program they used before ProTerm came out}.

As I just said, that is INCORRECT about ProTerm (unless you want to be a
pirate {OH NO! The naughty "P" word!! Egad. heh heh heh heh}). Oh yes, I will
just ad a little input of my own into the piracy discussion here. ProTerm is
one program I never would have seen had it not been for piracy, and I think
that I would have bought NO programs and just used public domain software/
written my own. In fact, I probably would know a lot more about programming,
but we won't get into that.  ProTerm, CopyIIPlus, and ProSel [when I get a
hard drive for the latter] will all have been bought by me, which I would have
never seen had it not been for piracy.
