I sent a copy of ARP v1.04 (arp.library version is 32.1) to comp.bineries.amiga
on February 2nd, and got a confirmation of receipt back.  Neither it, nor v2.8
of vt100 (which Tony sent off a while back) seems to have been posted yet, so
they may be having machine or news s/w problems at Purdue.

This version does indeed have a replacement for the List command.  No replacement
for Dir yet ... I'm not sure why, but I'd guess that Dir is sort of a low
priority due to the large number of dir's, ls's, and the like that are around.
Maybe Chuck McManis (who has contributed to the project) could shed some light
on where ARP is, and where it's going (Chuck ?)
