Hi -
I know, this has been asked a zillion times before - but I didn't CARE
then... {cute smiley goes here}.
I need `getopt' functionality for my C programs running on a PC. I know
all about how msdos deals with command lines, so don't go into it. I
just want a ftp-able copy of source code to do getopt. I usually skip
this group, so please mail directly to me at
rob@asrcmv.albany.edu
If it matters, it's for TC 1.5.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I have many times thought about flaming that sort of posting, thank you for doing a mild version of it for me. You have my support.

It is essentially the same one as has been posted many times to comp.sources.unix. I would suggest that you take a good look at your disks. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Daryl V.

You have my support. > > Paul Chamberlain Let's see now, the original poster made a simple request for getopt() source code, and *in line with proper Usenet protocol* asked that responses be mailed to him, not posted. But because he admitted that he doesn't ordinarily read this group (i.e., he only comes here when he has a problem to solve), at least two people were sufficiently offended that they posted nasty responses. Don't ever take a job in a library, guys, because you'll find that many of the people who go to one only do so when they have to find some piece of information which they don't know how to find elsewhere. That *does not* mean that they deserve abuse for having the temerity to seek help. And before you post to say that people who won't contribute to a group shouldn't expect benefits from it, consider that a person who doesn't know much about where to find various sources is *for that reason* unlikely to be able to contribute to this group by reading it regularly. Does that mean such a person should not ask for help here? Of course not; the whole purpose of this group is to help such people find what they need.

Yep. The point (at least my point), was that it's obvious this group is not very exciting reading. But, if all of us "skipped this group" because it's not exciting, the group wouldn't be of much help. If I wanted something from a group I don't usually read and it was even trivially important, I think I would subscribe to the group for a couple of weeks rather than say "I think this group is boring, but, can you help me ...." Rather, I'm willing to meet them half-way. It's like having a girl-friend that only calls when she needs a favor, it's like ... oh never-mind. I'll contain my future "nasty responses."

So what? If you got TURBOC, you got getopt.c, it is included in the package!
Just take a look at the distribution diskettes, it comes from Borland.
