Whereas it is my fixed belief that conforming to the standards of an operating system be desirable, unless those standards are unusable, and... Whereas the Amiga CLI uses keyword flags to specify options and arguments (albeit not entirely uniformly: "opt a" on one command means "all" on another)... Whereas this standard is not UNIX-like, but is also not unweildy... I would like to request that someone who has already done some work along these lines (to avoid reinventing the wheel) provide a command parser in the spirit of getopt (perhaps even one that allows programs to run in both fashions). Failing this, I'd like to see if there's enough interest out there for me to do so. It would make a nice pair with my Workbench File Requestor... -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!seismo!soma!uhnix1!sugar!peter (I said, NO PHOTOS!)
