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.
