> What happened to Procomm 3.0????
I saw it on a bbs here in Colorado Springs. Datastorm Technologies indicates
it is not from them; version 2.4.2 is the latest. Stay away from 3.0. The
next version will be a commercial progaram procomm+.roth@mrsvr.UUCP (Dean Roth) (12/17/87)
Procomm 3.1 is not a real product. One report that I read on a BBS said that 3.1 will destroy disks on a computer if used on October 31 (thus the version number "3.1") - which is Halloween. I have not seen a copy of 3.1, but it is definitely 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. -- Paul Dubuc {ihnp4,cbosgd}!cbdkc1!pmd

From what I have heard from Datastorm in the past 48 hours is that they are having great difficulties with the printing of the documentation. The girl said they were now expecting a release date of mid January, maybe later if further problems arise. Also, she mentioned something which I wasn't sure I beleived, she said they were going to bring out a new version of Procomm (the shareware version). Hmmm, sounds good to me. Anyway, the version of 2.4.2 that is hacked to say 3.0.0 or whatever will apparently do no harm, it's only change is in the sign-on screen. -- Steve Gerber Purdue Univ.

I am trying to write a script that will dial up a PC loaded with Procomm Plus and transmit a file and make a backup copy of that file. When I do this manually, I have no problem going to the shell and copying the file. However, when I try this through my script, after going to the shell any command issued returns the response "Bad Command or File Name". I have tried changing the case of the command (upper to lower) without any success. The script is running from a unix based Gould 9050 machine. The script is similar to C. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Vicky Mercer DLA Systems Automation Center
