[My apologies to those of you caught in the overlap of info-micro and info-ibmpc.] Last night (via a friend) I downloaded PC-TALK5 from SIMTEL20, and I noticed the absence of Andy Fluegelman's name in the blurbs at the top of the source code. The panel displayed by the program at start-up does mention The Headlands Press, since PC-TALK5 is an enhancement of PC-TALK III, which Fluegelman, for the most part, wrote and which Headlands Press distributes. What I'm asking is, since Mr. Fluegelman's name isn't associated with it, is PC-TALK5 really a new, "official" version of PC-TALK from The Headlands Press? Or is PC-TALK5 just the latest and most comprehensive modification (of all the mods running around on BBS systems) of PC-TALK III? I haven't seen any "official" news about PC-TALK5 in the various micro mags/journals/ newspapers, and I would have thought that if PC-TALK5 were "official," some mag somewhere would have published something about it. PC-TALK is, after all, one of the first and still one of the most popular PC communications programs available. If you have any news on this subject, please email directly to me. I'll summarize if I hear anything meriting it. -- Larry Afrin Dept. of Computer Science Clemson University -------------------------------- Please send replies, if any, to: lbafrin@clemson if you're on CSNet lbafrin.clemson@csnet-Relay if you're on ARPANet any reasonable-looking string with if you're on any other net "lbafrin" and "clemson" in it "If the Constitution guarantees free speech, then why do I get a phone bill each month?"
