Ah.. sorry, I didn't mean that it didn't work, I just mean't that it didn't
work the way I wanted it to.. :)

I originally used argv++, but it didn't goto the next member of the array,
it went to the next character not the next member.. and I use it in a
function which checks to see if there is something on the command line
which isn't a switch, ie. a config file name..  you've gotta remember that
the switches I use are three characters.. ie /df, as I said before.. I
tried argv++, but it just moved onto the next character in the present
member, but just for arguements sake I'll try it in Dupey just to see what
the results are like :).. and I don't think they will be to favorable..

 My Sincerest apologies.. I originally thought that argv++
didn't goto the next member of the array because I was using the IDE
debugger to check the values.. :).. I just tried printing each of the
values and it works.. :).. 

Originally I was wondering why it worked in your getopts but didn't seem to
in my function :)..
