Having used Procomm 2.4.1 (tm) for a little while now, I still have
found these various bugs (same as 2.4 suprise!):
1) When in vt-100 mode, and in line-wrap (auto wrap) it still
wraps at the 80'th character, even if the next character is
a C/R or a L/F. It SHOULD wait for the 81'st character before
it decides it needs to wrap.
2) When down loading using the Kermit protocol, it seems to ALWAYS
convert N/L (ie. Line Feeds) into C/R L/F pairs. Even if you specify
a binary file transfer. Needless to say, this wrecks havok.
No where (at least where I can see :-) do I specify this conversion
to take place.

I am writing this with version 2.4.2, just released, and have to say that the line wrap problem has been alleviated, tho not completely cured. Using vi, the text will either jump down two lines or reverse feed one line if one tries to write off the end of the line. A ^L clears it all up... minor, but annoying. More serious is the inability of PROCOMM to use kermit to transfer binaries in a consistant fashion. The LF to CR/LF problem can be fixed from the setup menu in the terminal section. In spite of this, binaries are a hit or miss proposition at best. Text kermit xfer's up and down work admirably...(sigh). -- ==================================================== | Fortiter in re, || Bill Fischer | | suaviter in modo. || ...ihnp4!chinet!wmf | ====================================================

*****************************
The latest version is 2.4.2. No doubt there will be further bug-fix versions;
save your $800 until they all get fixed!
To our neighbors across the Atlantic, I suggest you contact the Holland
Computer Club (HCC) for such things. They spend a lot of money keeping up to
date with such things, and it may be less expensive then getting it from
here directly. You might also track down your local (or closest) Fido node.berger@clio.Uiuc.ARPA (10/29/86)
Send me the $ 800 and I'll send you a disk with version 2.42! ihnp4!uiucuxc!clio!berger
