The package is slightly altered by this porter to: a) use namespace for auxiliary procedures b) return an error rather then output it to stderr The original README follows: This package includes two routines for parsing command-line options in a TCL script: foxGetOpt.tcl -- this file contains the routine "getopt", a close emulation of the getopt(3) library routine for C programs. foxTypedOpts.tcl -- This contains the routine "typedopts", which uses long option names and which does type checking on option arguments. There is also a man page for each routine (named after the routine, not the file), and an ASCII'fied version of each man page called .README. If you have any comments / suggestions / bug-reports / bug-fixes, etc., please email me at: darkfox@netcom.com Thanks, and enjoy! - Johnson Earls
