[comp.sys.amiga] ARP 1.3 Documentation

jwhitman@st-louis-emh2.army.mil (Jerry Whitman) (07/18/89)

There have been several recent messages on the ARP documentation.  Some appear
to address the 'ManPages' for the ARP commands while others refer to 'Program'
documentation.  Some correspondants indicated they had the current ARP 
documentation, but did not clarify which type if there is in fact a difference.

That brings us to the obvious part - my questions.

1.  Is there a difference between the 'ARP Docs" and the 'ARP Progammer Docs'?

2.  Does the 'ManPages' for ARP 1.3 exist, and if so where?

3.  If the 1.3 'ManPages' do not exist is there a projected availability date?

T-T-Th-Th-Thats All Folks!! 

Regards, Jerry.

Yes.  The ARP Docs generally refers to the complete set, I guess, but the
ARP Programmer Docs specifically means the information necessary to
call the arp.library functions from your own programs.  Last word from
Charlie Heath on BIX was that the Programmers' docs would be done in a
few weeks.

Yes.  I have them, they're big, and you'd probably best check for them
on a local BBS or wait for the Fish Disk.

On kilowatt, there are several files listed as arp docs.  Could somebody
clarify which is which (i.e. what's for the newest version)?  
 
here's an excerpt of the files I'm talking about

All of the files mentioned, except for the arp13 files, are for the
previous distribution. None of the new documentation has been archived
yet. If someone wants to mail the new docs to me, I'll put it in.
