Ah, but you can still use GETARG under HP-UX; it's just that IGETARG
provides info on the length of the string returned, while GETARG does
not.  Also, a compiler directive is required to use GETARG.  However,
I think HP's biggest sin here is that  CALL GETARG(1,string)  returns
the program name, where most other implementations consider that to be
argument 0 (zero) and not 1 (one).
