However they are only available for testing. They both clearly state (my copies do) that you may test them, and if you find them useful you should send money to the authors. I believe ProComm is shareware, and ProComm Plus TD is a scaled down ProComm Plus which is ONLY intended for testing purposes. If you plan to use these programs, you should send the requested money to the authors. Michael Stanley jms@hcx.uucp

ProComm Plus TD (Test Drive) is a partially inhibited version of ProComm Plus, offered through BBS systems as a demonstration version of the full program. -- Michael Shapiro, Encore Computer Corporation (formerly Gould/GSD) 15378 Avenue of Science, San Diego, CA 92128 (619)485-0910 UUCP: shapiro@rb-dc1 (This location will close, starting July 10.
