PADCHAR.DTP
Target Program: PCPLUS.EXE version 2.0
This patch allows the user to define which character PROCOMM PLUS uses to
fill the last block sent during an XMODEM transfer. Since XMODEM sends
blocks of fixed length, the data sent in the final block is almost always
less than that required to fill out the block. The default character used
by PROCOMM PLUS to fill out the difference is the Ctrl-Z character (decimal
26). This patch changes that default to a NULL character (0). If you wish,
you can change the default to any fill character.
To define your fill character, change the last line of this file to the
decimal value (from 0 to 255) of the character to use.

SFTIMOUT.DTP
Target Program: PCPLUS.EXE version 2.0
When performing software flow control (XON/XOFF), PROCOMM PLUS version 2.0
automatically clears an XOFF if no XON is seen within a specified amount of
time. The default timeout period is 20 seconds. In other words, if PROCOMM
PLUS detects that it should halt transmission because it has seen an XOFF,
the program will wait until an XON is received or 20 seconds elapse.
This patch file can be used to update the XON wait period. The first value
(following "O47417") is the number of seconds which can elapse (a value
between 0 and 255). As distributed, this patch file will increase the
timeout to 60 seconds. If you desire a different value, edit this file
(with a standard ASCII editor) and change the value as shown.

ESCTIME.DTP
Target File: PCPLUS.EXE version 2.0
When an ESCAPE is received by PROCOMM PLUS, the program waits a maximum of
two seconds for another character to continue the escape sequence. If
another character does not arrive in this time, we no longer treat the
incoming characters as part of a potential escape sequence but simply as
ordinary received characters. For some packet-switching networks with
extreme delays the two second wait is not long enough. This patch changes
the two second wait to four seconds (the value 72 is clock ticks where each
second is 18 ticks [4 * 18 = 72]). If a different timeout is desired,
replace the value 72 with any value between 0 and 255 (255 = 14 seconds).

CURSBIOS.DTP
Target File: PCPLUS.EXE version 2.0
Certain TSR's and device drivers interfere with PROCOMM PLUS' low level
cursor manipulation. This patch will force PROCOMM PLUS to use the BIOS for
cursor addressing. This should eliminate conflicts with those programs
which make invalid assumptions about the cursor.
WARNING! This patch will slow down Terminal Mode to some degree. Use only
if you are experiencing a conflict with another program.
