[comp.sys.amiga] ARP 1.1 Copy BUG

beatyr@pur-ee.UUCP (Robert Beaty) (04/25/88)

<<<<>>>>

I just got the latest verion of ARP off the net and I found the same bug
with the Copy command as in the eariler version also posted to the net.
In my startup-sequence I load in Lattice 4.0 off two disks, and to make
them drive independent I do copy's like:
copy "My Development Disk #1:c" to ram:c all quiet
copy "My Development Disk #2:c" to ram:c all quiet
  ... etc...

  AmigaDOS's Copy command works fine and does what you would expect it
to do. ARP's Copy returns with no error message and no copying done. I
do not understand why this should not work, sure I could hack my stuff
up and put in a DF0: and DF1:, but that defeats the purpose of the disk
names. So, Mr. Heath, this is a bug report, and other people Look Out!,
this bit me rather hard thinking things were copied and they weren't.
  ARP is very nice, I just think the authors would like to make it as
compatible with AmigaDOS as possible...
