   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...

Yeah, I had that problem. It is possible to add to an interface and
not break things; ARP sure didn't do that, though. I've got enough
room to install them should someone/something show up who wants to use
them, but I'm not in that set.

In fact, I leave the standard CBM environment in place, and put all my
private stuff elsewhere. This means that 1) I can get back to standard
CBM easily, and 2) there's very little that breaks if I re-install the
CBM stuff from scratch. If I could convince links to work, I'd even
stop that, so all that has to happen is to recreate those few links
after a new install.
