Whap! Ideas
No, true; we will never get more than maybe 20% of Amiga owners using ARP
unless Commodore picks it up. I could write new stuff 26 hours per day and pay
people $10 per disk to use it, and we'd still never get everyone to use it.
Such is life.
True, you can put characters like "#?(|)" into file names, but nobody does
because they have to be ESCaped in order to be used. Similar with characters
like space and the Copyright symbol; if developers expect a program to be run
from CLI, they don't stick those characters in the file names.
Anyhow – here's a quick solution for the problem with BRACES, which will
probably solve the problem for WordPerfect – instead of typing the BRACE
character, type a "?" QuestionMark. This will match on any single character,
but should suffice; I haven't tried it, but think it should even handle
creating directories with the embedded {} characters.
