A week or so ago, someone mentioned that a new version of Handshake (the
terminal emulator) was announced in some magazine, and said to be available
on People*Link or some such place.  I've been watching the postings in all
of the comp.sys.amiga.* groups, but haven't seen any followups. (I've also
been checking in abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov every day or so, with no luck so
far...)  So, was this a real announcement, or was it a hoax, or isn't anyone
in this newsgroup active on People*Link?  Or did I dream up the whole thing?

BTW, Handshake has always been one of my favorite programs (I have version
2.12).  I'd use it more "if only" it had zmodem (and ARexx, and ... :-)
Seriously, since I do part of my work on a VAX under VMS, I really
appreciate the completeness of his emulation of a VT100/220, but the
terminal program I use the most right now is ATalkIII (hi Marco :-), which I
also like a lot, but it seems that the major challenge in using AT3 is
keeping up with the updates (I'm hopelessly out of date with version 1.2,
but I've already upgraded at least 3 times since 1.0c, and I'm getting tired
of all of those $8.00 or $10.00 checks.  But, I still appreciate that the
program IS getting enhanced & upgraded periodically.  It'd be nice if there
were some way to subscribe to an update service at a lower cost...)

Thanks in advance if someone can help me locate this beast, whatever the new
version number is (seems to me it's something like 2.20b)
