Hmmmph....with the discussion of wild cards, people have been coming
out of the cracks and harassing ARP.  Boy if my memory works right (256
bit of course), when ARP came out, it was the hottest thing to use.
Everyone mentioned how ALL the c:commands were so and so smaller, so and
so faster cauz they were written in Assembly, and so and so better
because they offered more flags!!!!!  Plus it offered full UNIX
wildcards and even a shell with built in commands.....
 
But now......
 
People want to suddenly change...why?  True, you do have to use their
library (that always likes to stay open), but what does an extra 12k
mean when you have the more powerful commands.....plus it has a nice
short file requestor built in that ALOT of programs use (like muchmore
and much much more :)
 
Explain.....and I shall let you live......  :)
