Oh, yes! Everyone loved Procomm when I started one job. They loved those
scripts. But Procomm itself was pretty fragile for dialup usage. I slowly
got the field people to convert to MSDOS Kermit, but I had to do all the
scripting, since there was no cute tool.
They could use whatever they wanted, but I could do things with Kermit
scripts that they couldn't figure out how to do in Procomm, and I had no
interest in learning. The scripts that I wrote were always portable
between MSDOS, Unix, and K-95.
