[comp.unix.questions] Man pages for awkcc.

kevinm@rtech.UUCP (Kevin Malloy) (01/10/89)

	We have received a version of awkcc from ATT.  Unfortunately we
haven't received any man pages or instructions on how to use it.  I need 
to know all aspects of how to use it such as arguments passed to it, how
to set up the awk.s program and anything else that would be enlightening
about the program.

Huh, what?  I just woke up - what's 'awkcc?'  Is it an awk 
code compiler?  How frightening - all those Ray Swartz 
databases compiled in all those middle managers' home
directories.

Awkcc is a preprocessor that translates awk code into C, 
which is subsequently compiled using cc.  This tool
can multiply the speed of many awk scripts, and increases of
a factor between 2 and 6 are common.
Since awkcc uses C as its target language, the package is
easily ported to any UNIX system environment, and has been used on a range
of machines and operating systems including System V, BSD4.3, and
Sun 3.2.

It is available from the UNIX System Toolchest.

The Toolchest may be reached in the U.S.A. on 201-522-6900

In Europe information may be obtained from an automatic info server.

So, inquiring minds want to know... Is UNIX still a registered
trademark of AT&T or is it now a registered trademark of Unix
International, Inc.?
