Subject: public domain AT&T getopt source
Date: 3 Nov 85 19:34:15 GMT

Here's something you've all been waiting for:  the AT&T public domain
source for getopt(3).  It is the code which was given out at the 1985
UNIFORUM conference in Dallas.  I obtained it by electronic mail
directly from AT&T.  The people there assure me that it is indeed
in the public domain.
