Well, I uudecoded the PROCOMM 2.4.1 that was posted recently, and
got a file called prcm241.arc.  Now what do I do?  The file
doesn't have much text in it,  except for some filenames and
LOTS of crackers.  I assume that is some sort of representation
of the binary file, but if I do take this program to my PC,
then what should I do?  Also, will this work with a Zenith
PC, meant to be a clone of the PC/XT? (Sorry, I don't remember
the model number... it's my roommate's PC).

Respond by e-mail, unless you think that other newcomers
to this group cold benefit from this info.

Thanks in advance.
