This archive contains a port of gawk (GNU awk) 2.15 to DOS. A
companion archive for OS/2 1.x--2.x will be available on
ftp-os2.cdrom.com. Kai Uwe Rommel's EMX/gcc port (for OS/2 2.x) was
the starting point.  Rommel's port is currently at
   ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/2_x/unix/gnu/gnuawk.zip

Files:
 ./
   gawk.exe     DOS executable
   gawk.man     man-page ("groff -man gawk.1 > gawk.man")
   readme.txt   this file

   GAWK.PS      200 page manual v0.15 April 1993 converted from
   		gawk.texinfo > .dvi > postscript.



Notes:

1. The stdargv and globbing routines from Ian Stewartson's sh have
been used. This provides enhanced argument passing. Other compile
options, including a bound OS/2 and DOS version, can be found in
makefile.os2.

2. Some changes were required for MSC, and one buglet was discovered
by the "test" suite (see the patches2.os2 file and the changes to
main.c). 

3. dmake required some minor changes to test/Makefile. gawk passed
"bigtest".

4. Thanks to GNU, FSF, Rommel, and Stewartson.
