I can't help you using the arp.lib with the new Manx Compiler.

But why don't you use the #pragma command to call the functions of the
arp.library directly?

Either use the arp_proto.h with the Lattice pragmas (Manx understands them),
or use the example program (I have forgotten it's name) to convert .fd files 
to Manx pragmas. 

This works fine with my programs.


Hope this helps, even if that doesn't solve the original problem,

Georg.
