getopt and Non-Unixes?

[Gerrit Holl]

From: Gerrit Holl <gerrit.holl at pobox.com>

Hello all,

I was wondering how getopt worked on dos/windows (and other operating systems).
While in dos, the default way to handle arguments is "/v /d /f" (isn't it?).

I don't have access to any micro$oft machine (it doesn't make me unhappy...),
but I just wanted to know how my program works on Dos/windows/macintosch and
other non-Unix systems.

regards,

Gerrit.
