For these to work, you simply need to copy arp.library to libs: -- it
is a measly 14.4k bytes long, which should fit on a floppy based system
easily.  VLT also requires screenshare.library, which is only 1.8k.
Having arp.library around can actually save space if enough utilities
use it, since the file requester, etc. can be part of the shared
library and not contribute to the size of the code.  Of course, if you
get all of ARP, you get a large savings in space, and more important, 
increased functionality.

Speaking of ARP, can anyone offer info concerning the prospects of
Commodore acquiring the rights to distribute it?  It seems this would
be a win-win situation.

I won't ask when the 1.3 compatible version is coming out 'cause I
know these things take time.
