The manual page for getopt(1) states that "This command is available with
the System V software installation option" and that "getopts(1) is
preferred".  The manual page for getopts(1) doesn't indicate any
restrictions on availability.  However under several versions of Sun OS
(3.2, 3.5, 4.0.3), there doesn't seem to be any program getopts, only a
manual page.  Does anyone know why this is or where I can find a getopts
program compliant with the Sun manual page?  Thanks.
