/*
* 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.
*
* There is no manual page. That is because the one they gave out at
* UNIFORUM was slightly different from the current System V Release 2
* manual page. The difference apparently involved a note about the
* famous rules 5 and 6, recommending using white space between an option
* and its first argument, and not grouping options that have arguments.
* Getopt itself is currently lenient about both of these things White
* space is allowed, but not mandatory, and the last option in a group can
* have an argument. That particular version of the man page evidently
* has no official existence, and my source at AT&T did not send a copy.
* The current SVR2 man page reflects the actual behavor of this getopt.
* However, I am not about to post a copy of anything licensed by AT&T.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
