{COMMO} (tm) is a Telecommunications Program that offers great power, speed
and flexibility in a small, easy-to-use package.
-----------------------
Changes in this release
-----------------------
Previous users of {COMMO} should read the list of changes in the file HISTORY.
This file also shows changes to several previous releases.
{COMMO} is Shareware. Please see the Licensing Notice in the COMMO.DOC file
and also the Registration Form in REGISTER.FRM. 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:

NEW USERS please read the file COMMO.DOC. {COMMO} is a little different from
other terminal programs and the time will be well spent. Pay special

(if nothing else, please read this!) and Appendix A "Setting Up Your Modem."
