I just started using my 2000 and copying files from df2: to ram:. ie, conman, arc, etc and I kept getting a recoverable guru 00038036.265F48F1. Does anyone have any ide of what is going on? Thanks Jerry

Jerry, are you calling ARP utilities possibly from the current directory which is searched before the c: directory and don't have the ARP library installed in l: ? Ted

Sounds like the no Arp.library alert – we're going to be changin that to a warning message for some of the commonly used ARP programs so it will make more sense. You need to have a copy of arp.library in your LIBS: drawer. Sorry for the inconvenience… it'll go away as soon as we can convince Commodore to burn the library into ROM C-: …cheath

Charlie, I certainly hope you can convince them to burn ARP into silicon. Along with that, i have hopes for ARexx to be in there right alongside ARP. Regards, Larry.

cheath, What is the arp library and how do I get it into the libs: directory (where is it now?). Sorry to sound so dumb…. Thanks, Jerry

The V1.03 ARP ARC file is in DL9 here, which includes arp.library plus about 29 of the executables like ASSIGN, CD, PROMPT etc. Search for ARP* – …cheath

cheath, Ah, I overheard the thread about this. Everyone seems to LOVE it! Does it make the commands work faster or is it just a change of format? Also, how does it affect the 2000? Thanks, Jerry

The ARP stuff will work on all three machines. They're all smaller than the equivalent BCPL originals (most less than half the size), so they will run faster … also most of the commands have extensions such as accepting wildcards in Rename, Protect, Type, and Join; adding a SORT option to the new LIST (still in beta), as well as allowing you to do "LIST *.o" , etc. We have tried to make everything more consistent and more powerful, and easier to use (once you get over the hurdle of getting the library copied onto your boot disk).

Charlie, Thanks! Will try it & let you know…. Jerry
