ARexx function library for accessing Dos V37+ functions.
Amungst are ReadArgs(), GetVar() etc. and pattern matching.

After programming ARexx script for quite a while, I missed some
function found in dos.library --  especially access to
environment variables and the comfortable argument parsing. Since
there seamed to be no ARexx function library which implements
this functions, I decited to write my own. And here it is.

This are the functions handled by this library.
· ReadArgs()
· GetVar(), SetVar(), DeleteVar()
· ParsePattern(), MatchPattern() - even case-insensitive
· Fault()
· Delete(), Rename(), MakeDir()
· SetComment(), SetProtection()

V3 enables /T for ReadArgs() and adds some more functions:
· FilePart(), PathPart(), AddPart(), AbsolutePath()

V3.5 fixes AddPart("foo:bar",) which caused Enforcer hits
