Additional notes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Docs are provided in a form similar to the ARP 1.3 Users' manual. If you
have an hard disk with a little space and want *NIX like online docs you may
put the ARP docs and ARPTools .man files (without suffix) in a directory
called - say - SYS:Man, and use a simple script like this to retrieve
information:
---- CUT HERE ----
.key Manual/A
IF EXISTS "MAN:<Manual>"
SYS:Utilities/More SYS:Man/<Manual>
ELSE
C:echo "Sorry, no help available"
ENDIF
---- CUT HERE ----
Name this script "Man", use PROTECT Man +s to make it executable directly
from the shell and type
man commandname
to read the manual page regarding the command.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARPTools programs are all RESIDENT/Ares compatible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a program is invoked with no arguments at all and seems not to
have returned to the CLI prompt, it isn't. It's just waiting for input from
standard input (in this case, the console). To stop this and get back
the CLI prompt simply send an EOF with CTRL-\. Read the .man files for
further information.
