One option (the one I picked) is to 1) install the arp.library, and 2) use
the original AmigaDos commands (which I don't use much anyhow) for
compatibility.  If there is any truth to the rumor that Commodore will
be shipping arp.library, it will become a moot point anyhow.  Back when
I had a floppy only system, I moved a few things like notepad and the
clock off my boot disk to make room for arp.library.
