- I recently became interested in the AWK programming language after
- reading an article in Computer Language Magazine, and I thought I
- remembered seeing a p.d. AWK on a bbs somewhere. So I proceeded to
- search and search, until I found this one: GAWK. This is the GNU
- version of AWK. It was distibuted with source code, so I recompiled
- it as a bound application. There was one obvious bug (malloc.h wasn't
- included, nor was stdlib.h and malloc was used!), which I promptly
- corrected. I can take no credit for this little gem except for that
- one bug fix.
-
- I have also noticed that the %f format for printf doesn't seem to work
- correctly. If anyone finds the probl;em and fixes it, I would appreciate
- it if you let me know so I can get the fix from you.
-
- The .exe file contained her is the resulting bound app. It will run
- under both OS/2 and DOS.
-
- I have no other information about this version of AWK, and
- there was no .DOC file. So I bought the AWK bible - The AWK
- Programming Language by Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger.
