I use FACCII also, and when I used the arpinstall program provided with the
arp package, I also had problems with my disk gronking forever just to load
a simple command from disk.  I figured it was just disk fragmentation and
did a COPY df0: TO df1: ALL QUIET --I suppose if you have B.A.D. or Tune-up
or something like that it probably works better, but I did the COPY method,
and at least I got rid of the gronking...
