I use Pro-Yam (ZCOMM's big brother) on my AT under both DOS and XENIX. I started out with ZCOMM and liked it so much I moved up to Pro-Yam. I can't say enough good things about either product. The author, Chuck Forsberg has been refining this since CP/M days (before DOS and the IBM PC). You can contact him at caf@omen.UUCP. I just saw an article from him a moment ago in comp.unix.xenix, so I know he monitors this area. How about it Chuck, isn't it time to let these people know about Pro-Yam/ZCOMM again? By the way, I'm just a satisified customer, not a principal or employee. Chuck...
