Sorry, a quick script I wrote for my wife (actually on 1.2C, I believe)
stopped working and I (much too quickly) fired off a "send-pr".  Checking,
the cvs logs and histories I can't find haw it would've ever worked in the
presence of "getopt()".

	Just to reiterate my withdraw of what is clearly my own mistake I've
appended my response to Greg Woods below.

NOTE: this `habit' may have also been developed on Xenix, IRIX, and/or AIX
along with Sunos/Solaris -- I used all of them for many years while at IBM,
SGI & Sun respectively;  Hell, I even used Locus/TCF at IBM for about a year
and a half.

	Sorry,

	paul shupak
