{COMMO} 4.52 March 2, 1991
{COMMO} (tm) is a Telecommunications Program that offers great power, speed
and flexibility in a small, easy-to-use package.
{COMMO} is Shareware. Please see the Licensing Notice in the COMMO.DOC file
and also the Registration Form provided in this package. Registration allows
you to eliminate the opening advertisement and to personalize your copy of
the program.
A registration fee of $25.00 US is required for continued use. Add $5.00
handling charge for a diskette containing the current release (specify 5.25"
or 3.5"). Mail to:
Fred P. Brucker
P.O. Box 9103
Santa Rosa, CA 95405

This release addresses some pesky problems affecting a few users. Many
improvements have been made to make the program smaller, more efficient and
more reliable.
