Ken, Arp is freely distributable and available to anyone who wishes to download the arp archive. Distribution of the arp.library is not forbidden, as far as I am aware since many programmers have included it in their distributions. I would assume that would be true of the utitlities themselves, although they would be useless without arp.library. You should check in the arp docs for any specific qualifications which the authors have placed on distribution. The original arp authors no longer are supporting arp, in fact I believe the prime mover no longer works on the Amiga. Some arp utilties may be better than those supplied with the current Amiga OS, but arp is not wholly compatible with 2.x, so you can expect possible problems. Arp also may interfere with other Amiga programs, as well, on 2.x systems. In general, it is best not to develop depending upon arp, but use other more compatible resources.
