A bit harsh, Kent.  Basic VLT uses arp.library for only one purpose:
its file requester.  Yes, Willy should probably switch to the ASL
requester, but hasn't yet--as a heavy VLT user, I think the things
Willy has been fixing and improving have been much more important than
this minor change.

The other major use for arp.library under 2.0 is with
rexxarplib.library, which gives REXX users access to most of the (1.3)
Intuition functions, as well as the ARP file requester.

You should distinguish between arp.library and the ARP commands, I
think.
