Thanks for any help. arp.library goes into your LIBS: directory, and does not require that the ARP commands be loaded into C: (or anywhere else). You might want to consider at least one of the ARP commands for your C: directory (or any directory asigned by your PATH). The ARP 'move' command is a marvellous little program, acting just like you think it should, and even across physical devices, using a copy/delete, rather than the 'rename' that it does when on the same partition. -larry -- It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Hokay... I just got ahold of a program that looks rather interesting, but
when I try to run it, I get the message "requires arp.library version xx or
higher". I had no idea what this was.
Then, I happened to stumble onto AmigaWORLD's review of top 20 PD programs
and lo and behold, there is arp.library, listed as AmigaDOS Replacement
Project. Now, I don't have a problem with the standard AmigaDOS stuff since
it all seems to work so nicely under WB2.0 on my A3000. I would like to run
this program, but I don't want to replace my AmigaDOS commands in the C:
directory! Help!!!
Anybody know how I can get it to run or have arp.library be available
in some other directory? Perhaps if I NewZapped the program to look for
the library in some other directory (say CR:) and put the arp.library commands
there it would work? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help. > Many applications use the arp.library for the Charlie Heath file requestor in it. Just get a copy if arp.library (should be on a Fish Disk somewhere. Anyone know of a downlaodable version?) and copy it to your libs: directory. There's no need to replace all the standard AmigaDOS files. >/---------------------------------------------------------------------\ >| -Doug Bischoff- | *** *** ====--\ | "Beggars can't | >| -DEB110 @ PSUVM- | * *** * ==|<>\___ | be users.

Just put arp.library in LIBS: and don't touch anything in C: That way, arp.library will be available for the occasional program that needs it, but you can keep the standard AmigaDOS commands. This is a frequent misunderstanding, and it probably results from ARP really being two things: 1. A library of useful support functions (file requester, resource tracking, multiprocessing, etc.) 2. A set of enhanced replacements for the CLI commands in C: 3. (ok, three things) A replacement shell program (ASH). Third-party programs which require arp.library need (1) only. Nothing that I know of requires (2) or (3). -- Ed Hanway uunet!sisd!jeh This is not an offer to sell securities. For off-road use only. Contains a substantial amount of non-tobacco ingredients.
