I saw this and thought the opposite! I think it is a good thing that somebody has done a higher level argument parsing library. As far as I know, getopt doesn't support type conversion, help text or field validation. Generally, higher level languages have better argument parsing libraries than the getopt style, Python for instance: http://docs.python.org/library/optparse.html Saul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
