+;# $RCSfile: getopt.pl,v $$Revision: 4.1 $$Date: 92/08/07 18:23:58 $
+#
+# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
+# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
+#
+# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
+# programming techniques.
+#
+# Suggested alternatives: Getopt::Long or Getopt::Std
+#
+;# Process single-character switches with switch clustering.  Pass one argument
+;# which is a string containing all switches that take an argument.  For each
+;# switch found, sets $opt_x (where x is the switch name) to the value of the
+;# argument, or 1 if no argument.  Switches which take an argument don't care
+;# whether there is a space between the switch and the argument.
+
+;# Usage:
+;#	do Getopt('oDI');  # -o, -D & -I take arg.  Sets opt_* as a side effect.
