[haddock @ 2003-08-26 19:01:18 by panne]
Made option handling a bit more consistent with other tools, in particular: Every program in fptools should output * version info on stdout and terminate successfully when -V or --version * usage info on stdout and terminate successfully when -? or --help * usage info on stderr and terminate unsuccessfully when an unknown option is given.
