I have been asked to post this for a friend: reply to me [or post news] The following command works under AmigaDOS but not under ARP: copy raw:10/10/100/100/In raw:200/10/300/100/Out In ARP, it gives the following message: Can't open raw:10/10/100/100/In Asking 'why' gives: Last command failed because packet request type unknown This error appears to occur on all ARP commands given a raw:In files. However, copying a file to a raw:Out file works fine. So, as the summary says: Does ARP suport raw:In files??

Heath. In his reply to me he said that the arp version of the command does a lock and that causes it not to work with raw: and that it may be fixed in a future release. -- Brian Waters <backbone>!---\ ihnp4!{iuvax|pur-ee}!bsu-cs!jbwaters uunet!---/

Probable a limited use to be complete though, arp should handle the case, since it is documented. -- Brian Waters <backbone>!---\ ihnp4!{iuvax|pur-ee}!bsu-cs!jbwaters uunet!---/

I do this occasionally too, when I've forgotten a console.device escape sequence, or one of the report formats and don't have my manuals handy. -- andy finkel {ihnp4|seismo|allegra}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
