PURPOSE
To provide AmigaDOS equivalents of some ancient ARP commands that,
to the best of my knowledge, never has been ported to dos.library.
Every efford has been made to make these commands 100% compatible
with the corresponding ARP commands.
As of this distribution the set is limited to the BaseName and
TackOn commands, but I might consider implementing others (e.g.
Read) if enough interest is there.
NOTES
The commands supplied herein where written in assembly, using the
DAS assembler from DICE (my other assemblers had a bug in the EXG
instruction :-(). They are, of course, fully re-entrant and can be
made resident.
At least v37 of dos.library is required.
BaseName & TackOn are Copyright © 1993 Magnetic Ink, but freely
redistributable for electronic distribution or otherwise.
