According to a note in the latest issue of THE PUBLIC (software) LIBRARY
NEWSLETTER, Procomm Plus's author is quoted as saying that this first
version has a few "buglets," and the recommendation is that people might
want to consider holding off sending in their $75, waiting till the next
upgrade is out.  After all, what constitutes an author's "buglet" may be
viewed as a major defect by the end-users ;->

The "official word" from Datastorm's Support RoundTable on GEnie (as of
last week) was that registered users of Procomm Plus would get a copy
of the bug-fix release free for the asking.  Concurrent with this, a
bug-fix release of the "Test Drive" version would also be made public.

I hope the bugs have all been detected and exterminated; but I doubt it.
