 The interface of AE II is basically menu-driven, with virtually none of the features included that is expected of a telecomm program today, such as terminal emulation and multi-file transfer protocols like YMODEM and ZMODEM.By 1982, ASCII Express II ceased development, and was replaced by a totally re-written replacement called "ASCII Express "The Professional"", also known as "ASCII Express Professional" or its much shorter name "AE Pro".This version was a collaboration between Bill Blue and Mark Robbins.
