Has anyone been successful in using The ARP function calls
from within their own 'c' source code?  Working with Aztec
v3.6a and the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libraries/arpbase.h>
#include <arpfunctions.h>

struct ArpBase *ArpBase;
struct Library *OpenLibrary(), *IntuitionBase, *GfxBase;
/*******************************************/
main()
{
   ArpBase=(struct ArpBase *)OpenLibrary(ArpName, ArpVersion);
   Printf("It works. \n");    /* ARP function */
   CloseLibrary(ArpBase);
}
/************** End of main ****************/

This gets successfully compiled and assembled 
with "cc filename.c" generating filename.o.
When attemping to link with the libraries c.lib and a.lib:
"ln filename.o -lc -la"
An "<a.lib> IS NOT A OBJECT FILE" message is generated.
Same is given when attemping "ln filename.o -l -larp"

While I can't confirm what version of the .lib files I
received, the ARP.library file is v34.1 and dated 26-Feb-88.

The lib sizes are:
lib:a.lib      7864
lib:arp.lib   10508

What is known of the existence of an include file named
"libraries/ARPbind.h"?  It was NOT including on my v1.1 ARP
disk I received directly from MicroSmiths.
Why can't I link?   Help.
