After looking over the mail I received about my application execution
inquiry, the general concensus seems to be:
> Use ARP. Nothing else works.
I wrote some assembly code which invokes *some* programs OK, but it seems
like there are at least 3 "types" of programs, all of which want different
things upon invokation. So, I got frustrated and decided to check out
ARP.
I have found the ARP binaries, user documentation, and programmer's
documentation. It *looks* like the ARP SyncRun and ASyncRun commands
do just what I need, and even cope with BCPL programs. However,
I have found a file called 'arppro3.zoo' which claims it contains
Lattice code (such as arp.lib and arpc.o). However, it only contains
the Manx versions of this stuff, not the Lattice versions. I have
checked 3 different BBS systems, all of which contain the exact same
zoo archive, so I'm beginning to suspect they're all like that (and
there is no included email address for the ARP folks).
Does anyone have the required ARP files for Lattice 5.0x? Could someone
mail me a uumangled copy? I don't need all the docs, just the Lattice
specific stuff. I'd appreciate it.
thanks a bunch,

The Lattice compiler doesn't need arp.lib. You just need to include the arp_proto.h file, which will tell the compiler about the offsets of the functions in arp.library.
