procomm plus discontinued

[teekow]

My customer just told me that Procomm Plus is not being sold/supported/licensed any more. Has anyone else heard this? If you have and if you rely on Procomm for scripting like I do and my customer does, what are your plans to replace Procomm?

Thanks
Rob

hi there i use this and have not heard about this happening but you can use hyper terminal , not sure how well it works but i have used it before

 

[teekow]

I am more concerned about scripting.....to my knowledge I can't do any scripting with PUTTY or Hyperterminal

I moved to a product called ZOC from

http://www.emtec.com

Like procomm, you can do scripting and ZOC supports the rlogin protocol, so the scripting run alot faster over the network.

I thought they stopped supporting and developing it years ago...but no matter - I can use it for as long as I have need to - it works now and that ain't gonna change.

I use TeraTerm...it can be used with a serial port, telnet or ssh.

It has a nice scripting language. I've used it to enter NPA, NXX, CDP, etc.

Great program and it's free.

Just because it isn't supported by Symetec, doesn't mean 3rd party developers aren't. they have been doing it for years. just check gGoogle.

ace is right, i'd had heard that it was being dropped. but i don't expect it to go away. the company may stop putting it on my company laptop and if they do i'll start using my personal.. i'm sure it will be around for well over another 10 years and i will be well retired and doing woodworking.. without code or pc's

Woodworking!? But there's no lights or error messages on wood! Not even any buttons to turn it off and turn it back on again! What kind of crazy Flintstones world are you moving to?!?! ;-)

they haven't made 4.8 in years, ansd it still works great.

I use Reflection...it's great and is so much better for scripting and copy/paste functions! Let me know if you want a copy!
