Function note:
The function getopt() will allow you to easily handle any number of
options as input to your CLI-based programs.  It is NOT part of the ANSI
specifications for C, but I find that it makes including options for my
programs much less painful.
 
Compilation note:
If you have Manx's Aztec C (as I do), getopt can be compiled as either a 16-
or 32-bit integer function.  Use whichever mode your calling routine uses.
 
Just a note:
If you find this function useful (I hope you do; I hate remembering to type
"opt x" instead of "-x") I would appreciate receiving a picture postcard
from your locale bearing the most interesting tidbit of Amiga information
you are willing to share.  Thanks.
