- This is the Beta-test distribution of gawk. (Probably around version 1.01
- or so.)
-
- Please send all
- bug-reports, comments, cries for help, etc, to hack@prep.ai.mit.edu
- AKA mit-eddie!prep!hack During odd hours I can sometimes be reached at
- (617) 253-8975, which is an MIT phone in the middle of the corridor, so don't
- be suprised if someone wierd answers, or if the person on the other end has
- never heard of me. (Direct them to the microvax about 10feet to their left.)
-
- Gawk requires some berkeleyisms, like alloca(), bcopy(), index(), etc. I
- believe we have a portable version of alloca() (part of GNUemacs), and
- probably the other stuff as well. Send me mail if you need anything.
-
- For real speed, you should change the Makefile to compile -O -DFAST and
- disable the debugger. (-DFAST replaces some function calls with macros, and
- disables a lot of debugging stuff.)
-
- If you don't have bison, modify the makefile to call yacc instead
- (The proper commands should be already in the makefile; just un-comment them.)
- If you have neither bison nor yacc, use the awk.tab.c file here. It was
- generated with bison, and should have no AT+T code in it. (Note that
- modifying awk.y without bison or yacc will be difficult, at best. You might
- want to get a copy of bison from us too.)

- PORTING NOTES:
- Ported to MSDOS using MSC 5.0 with my own pseudo BSD library and other
- goodies scarfed off the net!
