- NAME
- LoadLib -- Explicitly load an Amiga library.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- LoadLib dev:dir/library-name
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- THIS COMMAND IS NOT NEEDED BY 2.x/3.x.
-
- UNDER 1.3 ONLY: This is a new command which is
- occasionally very useful. If you should happen to boot
- from a disk that does not have arp.library in its libs
- directory you will not be able to use the ARP commands
- directly. This is an unusual situation, but it can
- happen. LoadLib presents the solution to this problem by
- allowing you to load the library directly from whatever
- directory you want. After a successful LoadLib of
- arp.library, you may use any ARP command you like.
-
- Note that you are not confined to loading
- arp.library, any diskloadable library may be brought into
- memory in this way, this can help a lot when your
- bootdisk gets too crowded.
-
- EXAMPLE
- 1. To boot from a disk without arp.library on it, and
- then insert your boot disk in drive 1, then type:
-
- LoadLib df1:libs/arp.library
-
- This will allow you to execute any ARP command. Note
- that LoadLib cannot use arp.library, and therefore it is
- missing some features, such as the advanced argument
- parsing, that most ARP supplied commands have.
-
- OTHER
- This command was donated to ARP by William Hawes. The
- founder of AREXX.ΓΈ
