Peter, arp.library is a library of routines used by the 'Amiga Replacement Project' command set. They were a set of commands that executed faster, and were somewhat more versitile that the equivalent AmigaDOS commands. Just as an example, it contained among other things…a fairly robust file requester. Thus, because of the functionality of some of the things in the library (such as the file requester) and because arp.library was freely available other programmers used those routines…thus you need the library to run the programs. Normally, it's included in the archive. However, it's available as a download by itself in LIB 13 of the Amiga Tech forum as ARPLIB.ZOO. You'll need ZOO to extract the library itself. XIcon is a program that will execute a script file from an ICON. Don
