Summary: Latest patch breaks kermit transfers

Please disregard the "improved" patch I posted recently.  David
Escalante just informed me that my "improved" patch breaks the kermit
transfer facilities in procomm.  I guess I owe an apology to all those
who modified their copies of procomm with the faulty patch.  Sorry.
I did use the faulty patch for more than a year, but I guess I didn't
use kermit on that machine. 

Therefore, to fix your copy of procomm (v. 2.4.2), even if you have
applied the recent, faulty patch, do the following:
(Removes recent patch and applies old one.)

	RENAME PROCOMM.EXE PROCOMM.BIN
	DEBUG PROCOMM.BIN
	E 083D E8 3A 7E
	E 8686 0
	W
	Q
	RENAME PROCOMM.BIN PROCOMM.EXE

If I find a better way to patch the program I'll post it, otherwise
just stick with the old patch (E 8686 0).
