Short: The AmigaDOS Replacement Project Author: Charlie Heath (CDH), Scott Ballantyne (SDB), many others Uploader: Kyzer/CSG Type: misc/antiq The AmigaDOS Replacement Project (ARP) was a project created by a group of Amiga developers who were disgusted with the BCPL dos.library used in early versions of the AmigaOS. It is manifested in the following software components: - a library, arp.library - a set of replacement commands for CBM's original BCPL commands in C:, these either duplicate or enhance the originals. - a shell (which runs only under WB1.3) NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE IS OBSOLETE. Do _not_ install it on an Amiga with WB2.0 or better. This upload to aminet is simply to make this historic package more easily accessable. You will be interested to note that all of ARP's functionality was put into the 2.0 and above releases of dos.library, and in fact many dos functions mirror those found originally in ARP. 'Later' hacked versions of arp.library are available, these route the ARP calls back into which are designed for and require WB2.0 or better.
