Thought I explained this before. I'll explain it again....
When I was writing the Telecomm article for the Dec. Amiga World I checked
with Eric Haberfellner (author of Handshake) concerning a new 2.20b 
version I had heard about from Leo Schwab. Eric gave me its features
list and when I told him when the article would be on newsstands he
indicated to me that 2.20b would most likely be out by then.  This turned
out not to be the case.  The newest version we have on Plink is still
2.12a which is what you would've downloaded "two nights ago" however
your message sounds as though you were somehow deluded into believing
you were downloading 2.20b and only realized it was 2.12a after you
finished downloading it?  The file header and description for Handshake
online on Plink CLEARLY indicates it is version 2.12a. And that's the
file number listed in my AW article (which was added by their editors
along with file names or numbers for other services). 

2.20b, if that turns out to be the version number Eric decides to use
for the next release of his program, will be on Plink as soon as he
decides it's done and releases it to the public. 

Lest anyone else be confused by what's in my article, ATalk III is now
at version 1.3e.  Just goes to show how often some Amiga software gets
upgraded and the version number revved but when you're working with
the 3-month lead time imposed by most magazines you do the best you can
with the facts you can get at the time.
