You end up using -v -d -f or -vdf this last one will throw Dos people for a
loop.
I supply the help message if the command line isn't understood.

def runIt():
try:
opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "l:hdpf:o:")
except getopt.error, msg:
sys.stderr.write("Error: %s\n" % str(msg))
print help_str
sys.exit(1)

Hello all,

I was wondering how getopt worked on dos/windows (and other operating systems).
While in dos, the default way to handle arguments is "/v /d /f" (isn't it?).

I don't have access to any micro$oft machine (it doesn't make me unhappy...),
but I just wanted to know how my program works on Dos/windows/macintosch and
other non-Unix systems.

regards,

Gerrit.
