Well, there is one other thing you *must* do:  copy "arp.library" to your
libs: directory.  I suggest copying the library first, then the actual ARP
commands (to c:).  If you try doing it the other way around, you'll find
out that the ARP version of "copy" won't work, since it needs to open the
arp.library ...

Since your WB is nearly full, you may need to delete some of the AmigaDOS
cmds that the ARP versions will replace.

Lastly, you *may* want to use the "set" command to tailor the way the
copy command works, and the format used to display the date.  This is
all documented in the "man pages".

As always, do this on a COPY of your WB floppy, in case you run into any
problems!

Oh, and for anyone who is using an older version of the ARP commands,
you'll need to reboot so that the new version of arp.library will get
OpenLibrary()'d.
