Note, however, that the GV and now it is used from 2.04 onwards is different from how it worked in 1.3 - there are some subtle differences.
If you want a good argument parser for 1.3: Look into "arp" - the amiga replacement project. Actually, this library was the basis for the v37 dos.library.

It was just to clarify whether some 'adventurous' programs would stop working in the future.
But in the case of JST everything is already in place regardless
Thanks for the 'arp' tip.
