Ross) Distribution: world Organization: The MITRE Corporation Lines: 25 Keywords: Procomm stack overflow patch 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). -- Gordon W.
