In my stuff, I have flags like: -qNNN[=value] thus, I use up one letter, and get 999 possible options. It's really ugly for the user (just what was that number again?) but extends things nicely. Of course, a better mechanism is to have something more than single letter options :-) > > -- > cheers, J"org work: --- no longer --- > private: joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de - Dave Rivers -
