This document describes the changes, additions, and bug fixes
to ProComm version 2.4.
- All new high level command language. Use CMDCNVT.EXE to convert
old scripts to the new format. (Consult the documentation for
a complete description of the new command language.)
- CompuServe B protocol now supported
- Windowed XMODEM (WXMODEM) now supported
- COM3 and COM4 are now supported
- Fixed manual dial/linked cmd file problem
- Added Tab handling to Redisplay buffer
- Changed ANSWERBACK to ENQ, added CompuServe B
- ENQ now works in ANSI terminal emulation
- Added modem cmd suffix, defaults to CR
- Added default download directory
- Added BS key definition (BS or DEL)
- Added Kermit handshake setup
- Added multiple kb macro files
- MODEM INIT string no longer has default CR- you must
include it in string.
- AUTO-ANSWER string no longer has default CR- you must
include it in string.
- ALT-Y sends auto answer string
- ALT-C will now clear the screen to your default colors
- Increased file transfer timeouts in host mode
- Improved XMODEM family EOT handling and error recovery
- /D command line switch for dual monitors (no auto detect).
Use this switch if you have a mono card and color card
in the same machine.
- VT100 and VT52 now support all print functions.
- VT100 now supports programable tab stops
- Fixed VT100 bug with ESC [ 2 l and ESC [ ? 2 l
- Fixed VT100 bug when keypad appl. mode keys echoed back.
- VT52 line graphics mode fixed (worked in 2.2 but not in 2.3)
- Fixed bug when INS is pressed in col 80.
- Fixed XOFF/XON flow control problem in ASCII uploads.
- Keyboard macros can now be used in chat mode.
- F)iles and S)hell in host only work for COM1 & COM2 due to
lack of DOS support for COM3 and COM4.
- Added host autobaud detect to host mode. 2 methods.
Method 1 uses the messages sent by the modem i.e. CONNECT 1200.
Method 2 uses incoming character checking. Remote caller must
press CR or space bar a few times for host to detect baud rate.
- Added user setable BREAK length
- VT100 and VT52 keyboard layout switched to physical mapping.
The unshifted function keys are like the 2 left rows of the
VT100 keypad, and the shifted function keys are like the 2
right rows of the VT100 keypad. (Consult the documentation
for exact mapping.)
