Replacement arp.library for Kickstart 2.0 or higher.
Don't use on Kickstart 1.2/1.3. Your Amiga will crash!!
Changes made to arp.library:
o FileRequest() removed! Will always return FALSE! This means you will
_have_ to run a patch program to replace the Arp file requester by some
other one. Use RTPatch, ReqChange, MFR, ArpToAsl,...
o All Arp replacements for DOS calls (Open() -> Execute()) routed back
to dos.library.
o CompareLock() routed to DOS SameLock()
o Puts() routed to DOS PutStr()
o Assign() routed to DOS Lock() & AssignLock()
o FindCLI() routed to DOS FindCliProc() or MaxCli()
o Getenv() routed to DOS GetVar()
o Setenv() routed to DOS SetVar()
o TackOn() routed to DOS AddPart()
o BaseName() routed to DOS FilePart()
o StamptoStr() routed to DOS DateToStr()
o StrtoStamp() routed to DOS StrToDate()
o CloseLibrary() fixed, flushes datacache of 68040 processor. Arp commands
place code on the stack before closing the Arp library and this caused
them to crash on 68040 machines.
This is just a hacked up version of the library to improve compatibility of
Arp with Kickstart 2.0 (or higher). Arp has not been updated in almost three
years now, so I suppose we can say it is dead. The most useful functions of
Arp can now be found in the Kickstart 2.0 ROM, so there is no real need
anymore for Arp.
Note that this replacement library has been constructed without the Arp
authors' permission.
Release 40.1
------------
- First release.
Release 40.2
------------
- CloseLibrary() patch added for 68040 machines (e.g. A4000).
