With the flurry of interest in 4GL back doors and short cuts,
I've decided to make my 4GL implementation of getopt()
available. I hacked it several months ago from borrowed PD
code for getopt() taken from the net. The code has gone through
initial testing and several months of production use. However, this
does not constitute a promise that it is flawless: use it at your
own risk. The code is kind of messy, but I'll mail it to those
interested. If there is a large amount of interest, I'll post it here,
it's not huge (~240 lines with sample usage 4GL code), but I don't
want to barrage anyone with unsolicited code. If anyone sends e-mail
direct to me, please put "fglgetopt code" in the subject line.
Walt, what kind of numbers would represent a threshold for posting?
I also have some rules for make (SysV) which ease maintenance of
C, ESQL/C, and 4GL sources, and combinations thereof.
