I fear that I may be making an incorrect non-causal relationship, but
here's my opinion.
After reading some of the postings on the subject of ARP (many of them very
insightful..thank you!) I decided to rid myself of all of the commands save
the library. I have been using ARP ever since it came out. The wild carding
was very handy compared to commodore's (so I think!?). This was also when
I was still floppy based..space concerns. This system simply got x-fered
over to the HD once I got that.
After using true commodore commands I have felt that the reliablity of my
system has increased SIGNIFICANTLY. I would, on this basis, and no offence
to the creators of ARP, recommend sticking with commodore programs. The
shell was not to my liking so I installed SKsh. (I am sorry, but I can't
remember the author's name off-hand) Thank you for SKsh it is very pleasant
to work in. I am suffering no side effects from going over to this en-
vioronment.
Conclusion: if you want (possible) increased reliablity....use commodore
commands.
