Subject: ARP? file requestor and Aztec 5.0
Summary: I'm looking for a good file requestor

  I recently went back to work on an old program I wrote with Lattice4.0
and tried to convert it to my current Aztec5.0.  Everything went fine
except the ARP file requestor.  The ARP includes were written with both
compilers in mind, but the object files you are supposed to link with
your program are apparently strictly Lattice.  This means I cannot
compile my program ever again, which is upsetting.

  Did the ARP people ever get around to supporting DOS 2.0 and Aztec 5.0?
Or should I switch to another file requestor?  The 2.0 requestor isn't
appealing since few ppl have it and it isn't redistributable.  The
req.library has a glorious file req., but documentation/example source
is hard to find (and the library is Large).  Is there anyone else I
overlooked?  I'm talking about sharable libraries here, not just file
req. code that someone wrote that can be compiled into my program, of
which I belive there are several in FISH alone.
