A couple of days after I posted the getopt source, I finally got
the copy I had ordered from the AT&T toolchest. They are identical,
except that the one from the toolchest has the following prepended:
1,14d0
< /*

<
< */
< #ident "@(#)getopt.c 1.9"
< /* 3.0 SID # 1.2 */
AT&T appear to be of two minds about this, since the copy I got
directly by mail from them did not have any such notice, and this is in
fact the same code which *was* published at the Dallas Uniforum, and
made public domain, to boot. Since the copy I posted was not the
toolchest one, and had no such notice, I guess the notice is irrelevant.
Now to send them a check for $1.80 for the toolchest transmission fee....
