Thanks for pointing this, but I did NOT know this. Actually I wanted to
use same thing as GNAT, that is why I cut/past the generic header from
one of GNAT source files, and simply used GETOPT where it said GNAT !
(see below). So I am now confused.
I'll be happy to modify the header and repost it if I know what I
need to write to make it use the same as GNAT, and it will be great
if you can use the package aspart of GNAT (allready got email from
few who found it usefull).
