Can anyone provide the C code for a "good" file requester or provide the
C code to call the ARP FileRequester? I have tried calling the ARP
requester, but have had problems. The ARP problems I am having are with
linking.
The ARP docuemntation mentions arpc.o, but does not mention how to create it.
It does contain LatticeGlue.a, which I assembled, but does not mention how
to link it in.
Can I use a normal OpenLibrary(ArpBAse) to access arp.library? If yes,
are there any advantages/disadvantages to this method or the GLUE method.
I am using Lattice 5.04.
Thanks in advance,

Personally, I think it's the greatest, and there are also a lot of other nice requester functions in req.library that you can use, too. Also, with Lattice (and I suppose Aztec, now), you don't need to link to glue-code. We supply pragma files so that the Lattice compiler can call req functions directly, like it calls system functions. I am one of the authors of req.library, and currently it's keeper. If you need more info, please ask. :) +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Colin_Fox@ice.outbound.wimsey.bc.ca | "...heavy!" | +-------------------------------------+ "There's that word again!
