I beg to differ.  I used switched to ARP when I didn't have enough
space on the old WorkBench disk.  I had already moved the fonts to a
separate disk, and with the miscellaneous .library files on WB there
was no more room for anything else.  After installing ARP, I had room
to add one additional item (namely, MSH), which I could not have done
otherwise.  I have had no problems with it for the things I use it for.

(Not-So-Nonexistent) Problem solved.
