I have a project for which I need the lastest version of awk. Specifically, I need a recent version which incorporates the enhancements made to the language as of 1985. (As outlined in _The_AWK_Programming_Language_, Aho, Kernighan, Weinberger) I've become frustatrated trying to use examples in the book which won't work with my version of awk. A quick test: { gsub(/USA/, "United States") } Should replace all references to the reg-exp /USA/ with "United States". Older versions do not recognize the gsub, and flag it as a syntax error. I simply need direction to an ftp site that contains the binary/source. Please e-mail me to make sure I get your suggestion. Thanks, Mike (vzb@mentor.cc.purdue.edu)
