I got AWF working under OS/2. The file names were changed for the 8.3
file name restrictions of FAT partitions. The path name of the AWF shell
script and the AWF directory are hardcoded into AWF.CMD. This OS/2 batch
file is in fact a shell script for which SH is automatically called via
the EXTPROC statement.
The following programs are required to run AWF:
- GAWK (GNU awk)
- SH (MS-SH 1.6.3 is available in an OS/2 protect mode version)
- SED (GNU sed)
- CAT (part of GNU file utils, which I have just completed porting to OS/2)
- RM (dto.)
The output looks acceptable, dumb.dev may have to be changed for the
8bit character set of PC's to support NROFF special characters. The
formatter is really slow, for AWF.1 it takes about 2:20 minutes on an
386 with 25 MHz without cache. But the regression test worked
correctly.
It can even be used under DOS. Use AWF.BAT and AWF.SH instead of AWF.CMD.
