I haven't read the articles in this thread, so I don't know if this has
already been mentioned, but this is what is wrong with ARP:
Picture this s: directory....
Startup-Sequence
SPAT
...
...
Now use the Arp-copy command in this way:
copy s:s(t#?|p#?)
This will copy both Startup-Sequence and SPAT. Now use it this way:
copy s:s(t*|p*) ; Notice that the #? has been replaced by a *
This will only copy SPAT.
What is this?!?! Is "#?" not equal to "*"? Why? And I thought ARP was great
(well, actually I still think it's great, you just shouldn't use "*" in con-
junction with "|").
Just wanted to point the attention to this (little) error. See you,
Patrick
