- pc AWK author's word
-
-
- This version of AWK was inspired by the programming language BAWK
- which was in turn inspired by AWK. This version of AWK is partly written in
- LEX, YACC and Assembly language, and is compiled with Borland Turbo C V2.0.
-
- The YACC grammar generates a pseudo code program for each pattern and
- action which is interpreted by ycode interpreter. The regular expressions are
- compiled by a recursive descent single pass compiler into a related p-code
- program that is executed by an rcode interpreter.
-
- I have attempted to make sure that this version of pc AWK conforms to
- the language described by the book "The AWK Programming Language" by Aho,
- Weinberger and Kernighan.
-
- This version of AWK is not intended to be in the public domain and is
- the sole property of Rob Duff. You may bundle AWK with any free or commercial
- product but you may not sell it separately. You may, however, distribute AWK
- in the manner of ShareWare, charging for distribution and handling only.
-
- If you have the source you may freely use the ideas embodied in the
- code but may not copy any part verbatim. Source code is available at the
- Duffle Board BBS.
