If ARP took an NIH approach to Commodore, is it >any wonder Commodore reciprocated? AMEN!.... I wish more people thought like you, Peter... I walk into a friends room and try to use his machine and so many things do not work as specified by CBM, I just hate ARP commands... If they had just re-written the commands to be more efficient, but still support the exact command syntax that CBM uses on the standard commands, it would have been a more useful replacement project... I can live with the wildcard changes because they are somewhat consistent, even though I prefer the CBM version... I don't mind having programs that use the arp.libarary for things like file requestors and such, but I hope these go away with the advent of 2.0's req.library... +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | LEON D.
