Command_Line_Processor provides a consistent, configurable, easy to use
package for parsing command line options and arguments. The application
using Command_Line_Processor need only define a type representing the
options it recognizes and a mapping of members of that type to characters
and/or strings, but can perform additional tailoring as needed.
While Ada 95's Command_Line_Interface package was used, it was the "low
profile" improvements to Ada 95 likely to be encountered in one's daily
work that were most beneficial. Such improvements remove much of the
necessity for "tricks" or writing one's own primitive utilities, as
illustrated by access subprograms and the string handling packages.
To compile all the demonstration programs under Unix, execute the
