++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


	ARPTools is a group of small utility programs requiring ARP,
        the AmigaDOS Resource Project v1.3 (*1) (the ASH shell
	with Conman(*2) is not necessary but best suited to take full
	advantage of all the programs' possibilities).

	ARPTools contains both original programs by Fabio Rossetti
	and both reworked and/or enhanced versions of other PD
	programs. See the IMPORTANT file for details.

	ARPTools programs have been created to address some
	deficiencies of the ARP CLI environment, especially to
	exploit the potential offerred by the non-named pipes
	facility of the ASH shell, but also to improve scripts and
	hard disk management. See the .man files in this distribution
	for the documentation of every ARPTools program.
	Every docs file in ARPTools assumes knowldege of ARP v1.3
	Source docs also assume ARP programming knowldege.

	Full source is provided for all ARPTools programs: to recompile
	the source files Lattice C 5.0x (*3) is required, along with the
	ARP programmer's include and object files.

	All the ARPTools files are freely redistributable at these
	conditions:

		o In their present form, the files should be
		  redistributed all together.

		o Source code can be modified and then redistributed
		  at will. However The author's name, and possibly a
		  list of the modifications, should be included in the
                  new version of the source code.

		o ARPTools must be distributed for non-profit only.

		o ARPTools executable and source files, in whatever
		  present or future form, cannot be used for any kind
		  of military uses.
