Finally after one year on  sourceforge, the Version 1.0 of the command
line  and configuration  parser  GetPot is  ready  for download.  Some
new features are:

-- the dollar bracket language:  A simple lisp-like extension, so that
    basic string,  and arithmetic operations can be  performed on the
    command line and inside a configuration file.

-- unidentified flying object detection (UFO detection): sophisticated
    functions  to  detect unrecognized  arguments,  options, flags  and
    variables.

-- prefixes:  narrow down  search  space through  a 'prefix'  (section
    name).

A reviewed user manual documents all these features.  Please feel free
to download at:

                         http://getpot.sourceforge.net

Many  people sent  me  suggestions  and improvements,  so  I think  we
finally  have a  pretty useful/stable  tool. However,  I'm  still glad
about any comment/critique.

Best Regards,

Frank.
