Let's see, you're mostly OK with the ARP commands, except
ARP Copy (current ARP copy doesn't preserve protection bits, and tends
      to fragment disks since it copies in alphabetical order, doesn't
      work with PIPE:)

ARP Mount (doesn't have the new 1.3 options)

(1.3 LIST & PROTECT handle the new protection bits)
