That's pretty weird. Don't tell my computer about this - I installed
Lattice 5.05 _and_ SAS/C 5.10 with ARP shell and all the ARP commands.
Maybe my computer never knew about this...

I've also heard assertations that the ARP shell uses wildcards and not
regular expressions. NONSENSE! I say. ARP shell supports the normal
AmigaDOS regexps, and it also supports '*' as a synonym for '#?'. In
addition to that, it supports character classes: [characters], and a
negation character '~'. So I can delete all the non-source-code files
out of a directory with: delete ~*.[ch]. Or I can zoo up the files in
a directory and get rid of everything but the zoo file with: delete ~*.zoo.
I can rename all the data files in a directory from #?.dat to old.#?.dat
like this: move #?.dat old.#?.dat

There have also been claims that you have to install ConMan to get pipes.
NONSENSE! I say. Just grab the conman library, put it in LIBS:, put the
handler in L:, and you have pipes. To be honest, I'm not even sure what
ConMan _does_, and I never installed it.

Before people flame on about this, RTFM! Really.

Re: assembly versus C source code: Well, to each his own. Don't be a
language-nazi. Some people can develop as quickly in assembly as HLL's,
some people even write assembler code for a living.
