Another reason to use parseargs instead (as if there was any need for more
reasons...).

BOOL killmeans = 0;
BOOL quiet = 0;
struct arglist *Files = NULL;

ARGDESC	ArgDesc[] =
{
	'q',	ARGOPT,		argBool,	__ &quiet,
		"quiet (Don't print headers)",
	'g',	ARGOPT,		argBool,	__ &killmeans,
		"GeoTRIM (don't display users below geometric mean)",
	' ',	ARGOPT|ARGLIST,	listStr,	__ &Files,
		"FILES (file containing acctusers output)",
	ENDOFARGS
};

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
ARGDESC *ArgDesc;
{
	parseargs(argv, ArgDesc);
