I walk into a friends room and try to use his machine and so many things do not work as specified by CBM, I just hate ARP commands... If they had just re-written the commands to be more efficient, but still support the exact command syntax that CBM uses on the standard commands, it would have been a more useful replacement project... Yeah, I had that problem. It is possible to add to an interface and not break things; ARP sure didn't do that, though. I've got enough room to install them should someone/something show up who wants to use them, but I'm not in that set. In fact, I leave the standard CBM environment in place, and put all my private stuff elsewhere. This means that 1) I can get back to standard CBM easily, and 2) there's very little that breaks if I re-install the CBM stuff from scratch. If I could convince links to work, I'd even stop that, so all that has to happen is to recreate those few links after a new install.
