* --------------------------------------------------------------------------
* $Log: ncbimain.h,v $
* Revision 6.3  2001/04/12 22:13:54  vakatov
* #define GetArgs only if it is not defined yet
*
* Revision 6.2  2000/06/15 20:51:41  vakatov
* Use "const" in Args code
*
* Revision 6.1  1997/10/27 21:58:13  vakatov
* Added Nlm_FreeArgs() to reset args earlier set by GetArgs[Silent]()
*
* Revision 5.5  1997/07/22 19:11:31  vakatov
* Separated Main() from GetArg[svc]() functions;  [WIN_MSWIN] converged
* console and GUI libraries; [for WIN32-DLL] encapsulated global variables
*
* Revision 5.4  1996/12/30 15:11:36  vakatov
* [WIN_MOTIF][WIN_MSWIN][WIN_MAC] +GetArgsSilent()
*
* Revision 5.3  1996/12/13  15:04:25  vakatov
* Declared Nlm_GetArgv() and Nlm_GetArgc() be DLL-importable
*
* Revision 5.2  1996/12/12  17:05:12  shavirin
* Added definitions for functions Nlm_GetArgv() and Nlm_GetArgc()
*
* Revision 5.1  1996/12/03  21:48:33  vakatov
* Adopted for 32-bit MS-Windows DLLs
*
* 7/7/91   Kans        Multiple configuration files, get and set functions
* 04-15-93 Schuler     Changed _cdecl to LIBCALL
