And what is to become of my all time favorite: Procomm Plus.
I can't live without that program!
And there was still a huge amount of improvement that could be done to
it.
Will Symantec keep improving it or will they kill it?
Here's a question I was gonna post to Quarterdeck's defunct board:
Why does ASCII transfer mangle the case of filenames?
Example:
I do an ASCII RECEIVE operation on a file called MYFILE.TXT, yet when
the transfer takes place it mangles the filename to myfile.txt. Hello
guys, the case IS important!!! We are just starting to do alot of
these transfers and are getting tired of renaming the files back with
their original case.
Anyone know of a solution?
By the way, I know that case usually doesn't matter in the DOS/WINDOWS
world, but the file actually ends up on a UNIX network drive where case
very much matters!

I don't have a solution, but I do have a workaround. Use the rename
command in ASPECT to rename myfile.txt to MYFILE.TXT. Make sure to
include the full path to the file, otherwise it may or may not work.
