Re: what to use in g++ instead of GetOpt?
Umm, Randy, not to downplay the humor or the valid points in your soliloquy, but he did say well-dressed C++ programmers, and everybody knows (tm) that Real Programmers aren't well-dressed (they also don't use C++, it's for the wavering who can't decide between C and Java [to paraphrase]). Of course, this also depends on your definition of well-dressed... Igor On Sat, 21 Dec 2002, Randall R Schulz wrote: Hello there, Edward, if that is your real name. Here's how it is, Ed...

Howdy, Igor, Yes. I guess the oxymoron confused me, especially since I always program in the buff. Randy (why not?)
