I ordered my upgrade day-before-yesterday, having been notified by mail
from Datastorm of it's existance.  Registered users of Procomm Plus will
be able to upgrade to 2.0 for $39 US; the regular retail price is $119 US.

The major changes, according to the brochure, are:

 o  Added Zmodem as an internal protocol.  2.0 now supports 15 internal
    protocols, as well as 3 user-defined ones.

 o  "Hundreds" of new commands have been added to the Aspect script
    language.  Also, Aspect scripts are now compiled.

 o  New dialing directory, with new Add, Sort and Jot capabilities.

 o  Microsoft-compatible mouse support.

 o  A new "File Name Clipboard" (patent applied for).  Cut filenames
    from the screen to an "electronic clipboard" while on-line.  When
    you're on-line to a BBS, for instance, as you come across files you
    want to download, simply "cut" the filenames to the clipboard.  When
    you're ready to download them, you can "paste" the filenames back at
    the download prompt.

 o  33 terminal emulations, supporting both 80 and 132 columns, where
    applicable.  EGA/VGA support.

I can't wait!
