And that is important to me, too.

Hmmm, wondering about all the recent flak over HandShake 2.20c, I recovered
it from floppy (after doing "CLI> delete hand#?" earlier), and noticed that
it (using the ARTM monitor ... great program, by the way) was the ONLY thing
on my system bringing in the ARP library.  And HandShake 2.20c is the ONLY
thing on my system(s) that causes a guru without undue provocation.

Are we "on" to something here?  Just curious.
