Back in the old days, before Al Gore created the internet, computers had an operating system known as MSDOS. People used this MSDOS and found it was good. This was the age of mainframes and green screens. Soon the people acquired serial ports and modems. They yearned for communication between themselves, these mainframes and what were called back then BBS's. Procomm was written by Datastorm to satisfy this need. As some of you may remember, in those days programs were written to do one thing and to do it right. So a voice of reason was heard coming out of Seattle, "Wouldn't a shell that does a lot but not very well be better?". Thus Windows was born. People used this Windows and found it mediocre, especially the included terminal program. Procomm for Windows emerged in time to prevent the revolt that was sure to happen. People used this new Procomm for Windows and found it was good. Over the ages the Procomm was sold to Quarterdeck and then to Symantec, where it now rests peacefully and unsupported on the new XP operating system.
