This is EXACTLY the problem that I have been messing with for three weeks, and it
is really pissing me off.
Yes, we have to wait until 
A) The kind folks on the ARP progect release a Manx 5.0a compatible arp.lib 
B) The above mentioned omnipotent Gurus release the source to ARP 
C) Our helpful buddies at Manx release some program that will convert old object
   files to a form that can be handed by the new complier-linker. 


This is essential to the Amiga programming community, because none of us can use
any of the linkable libraries with the new compiler.
If anyone knows anything about A, B or C kindly post it to the net, or at least 
me and Dan.
