A brief experiment with telnet shows that his posting machine is not a
Sun: "ULTRIX V4.2A (Rev. 47)".  My f77 info for Ultrix (4.0),
fortunately shows getarg identical to the above.  However I know that
for other flavors of unix it is different.  For example, HP-UX uses a
function IGETARG with three arguments.
