/*
 * Plug-compatible replacement for getopt() for parsing tar-like
 * arguments.  If the first argument begins with "-", it uses getopt;
 * otherwise, it uses the old rules used by tar, dump, and ps.
 *
 * Written 25 August 1985 by John Gilmore (ihnp4!hoptoad!gnu) and placed
 * in the Pubic Domain for your edification and enjoyment.
