I agree. get ARP 1.3!!  It is real, REAL good.  THe installation
procedure is wonderful.  All mouse driven, with very good defaults.

AShell is nice too.  How do they do it with only 8K of code.
AShell and CONMAN make a great pair.

AMong some of the changes ARP has done is that many commands
now can read stdin.  If you use conman's PIP: device, AShell supports
piping with |.  Here's an example from the ASh manual - a line numbered
hex dump:

dir | type opt h | type opt n

Hopefully someone will be sending it to the net soon.
