LoadLib(V1.3 only)
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.ø
