As I am running the release of 2.0.5R and not a SNAP it has probably been fixed - silly fault really it cant read in a file with the -f parameter. The reason for this is that there isn't a -f parameter !!!!! The fix is - add an f in line 86 of arp.c (ch=getopt(argc,argv,"andsf")) at line 103 add : case 'f' : file(argv[2]); exit(0); It should now work ..... i.e. arp -f /mydir/myarpfile If this has already been fixed , my apologies :-) Cheers Phil phil@zipmail.co.uk Just because i'm paranoid, doesn't mean the world isn't out to get me...
