Mike Meyer is asking for unlimited arguments for list, and dir (among
others).  Sure sounds like ARP1.3 to me.

C'mon.  What do people have against small, fast, highly functional, free,
already available commands?  I use ARP commands and have no problems with
them.  I'd like to see Commodore put them into 1.4 which rumor has it is
an offer already made to Commodore that they turned down!

I shake my head in wonder.  By using ARP one gets about 12K of space
back on a workbench disk.  This is significant.  

Can one of the CATS people comment on ARP and whether it will make it
into AmigaDOS and if not why not?
