- Qmodem 4.52 is an oldie, dating back well into the days when
- Qmodem was shareware. Yours is registered, right? :)
-
- Alas there were always bugfixes coming along at the drop of the hat
- and at one point program author John Friel was releasing new patches
- more frequently than Chuck Forsberg was releasing DSZ updates.
-
- Fortunately both DSZ and Qmodem have stabilized and Qmodem has gone
- commercial. If you like Qmodem (and I do) I strongly recommend you
- obtain the new commercial version of it. There's been many enhancements
- and improvements since the shareware days. 132-col scrollback works
- in the commercial vers. There's also a Windows version (also
- commercial).
-
- You might also look in the shareware distribution channels, as there was
- a later version of the shareware Qmodem called a "testdrive" version
- which I believe was the last shareware before the program went
- commercial. However, all the Qmodem shareware versions are quite old.
- My recommendation is that you upgrade your software.
-
- Just a closing comment, DSZ author Chuck Forsberg also has a commercial
- flavor of his famous DSZ, marketed under the name of Professional YAM.
