I always seem to get into a situation where I need it but the arp program can't seem to find it. It's more a hassle than anything else.

Valentin, did you ever stop to think - most of us have more than one bootable Workbench disk. If you copy even just one ARP command to the C: directory, you have to copy arp.library as well. Many times. Over and over. I have some floppies that are so tight that arp.library won't fit. (These are special purpose floppies where replacing all commands in C: may be contra-productive.) -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: JMS@F74.TYMNET.COM or jms@tymix.tymnet.com McDonnell Douglas FSCO | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-D21 | PDP-10 support: My car's license plate is "POPJ P," San Jose, CA 95161-9019 | narrator.device: "I didn't say that, my Amiga did!"
