They are identical, except that the one from the toolchest has the following prepended: 1,14d0 < /* < < * Copyright (c) 1984, 1985 AT&T < * All Rights Reserved < < * THIS IS UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE < * CODE OF AT&T. < * The copyright notice above does not < * evidence any actual or intended < * publication of such source code. < < */ < #ident "@(#)getopt.c 1.9" < /* 3.0 SID # 1.2 */ AT&T appear to be of two minds about this, since the copy I got directly by mail from them did not have any such notice, and this is in fact the same code which *was* published at the Dallas Uniforum, and made public domain, to boot. Since the copy I posted was not the toolchest one, and had no such notice, I guess the notice is irrelevant. Now to send them a check for $1.80 for the toolchest transmission fee....
