- Given a readable input stream and an argdesc array, \fIfparseargs\fP
- will parse arguments in a file in the same manner as \fIparseargs\fP.
- A maximum-line length of 255 characters is imposed. NO ``escaping'' of any
- kind is performed. Comments of a limited form are permitted: if the first
- non-whitespace character on a line is a '#' (or '!' for \s-1VMS\s+1) then
- that entire line is considered a comment and is ignored. If a value is
- provided for an argument that is NOT a list or a vector, then the value MUST
- be on the same line as the argument (in other words, ``\fB\-v\fI val\fR'' is
- fine but ``\fB\-v\f4\\n\fIval\fR'' is a not).
