You want to know if ARP 1.2 (Release 2.0) will work with WBench 1.3?

Good news!!  They will!  However you will probably want to keep a few
of the 1.3 commands because they handle the new protection bits.

Here is what I use:

ARP 1.2 commands except for Mount, List, Protect, Copy, and Install.


ARP Mount has some interaction with 1.3 that causes problems(goes the
rumor).  All I know is that I had less problems after I started using 
the 1.3 Mount.

ARP List, Protect, and Copy don't handle the new protection bits.

ARP Install doesn't clear out the whole Boot block like 1.3 does which
is an anti-viral feature.

And that's it.

You may want to use more of the 1.3 commands than I do.  I have WShell
which includes extra functionality so I don't miss the new features of
1.3.
