Before the 3000 had appeared, it was said to come together with Arexx and ARP. The 3000 that I saw at the Amiga-Expo in Basel (Bale) had Arexx on it, with the same DateStamp as all other programs, but the arp.library was in libs: since friday morning only (the first public expo day), and the C: commands, although they were shorter than the 1.3 ones, did not recognize the *. Will ARP be officially supported, as the aboved quoted article leads me to believe, or will it be free to everybody to put ARP in c: and libs: and l: ? ----------------------------------------------------------- Joerg Hoehle hoehle@hpki.cs.uni-sb.de student @ Universitaet des Saarlandes
