The following information is FYI, principally for educational institutions.
I thought that at least that part of the net could benefit from it.
The Research version of Awk is available to educational institutions,
in source code, for a mere $150. We have it here. The new version
offers a number of features, the most important of which is that awk
programs may now have functions.
The address to send mail to is
AT&T Bell Laboratories
Computing Information Service
Room 2F-128B
600 Mountain Avenue
Murrray Hill, N.J. 07974
Attn: Outside Software Distribution, J.J. Crawley
I don't happen to have Ms. Crawley's phone number, but if y'all send her
a letter, she'll send you back the appropriate form to fill out, sign, and
send back to her with a check; no purchase orders accepted.
The package comes with source code on tape, including man page, and a printed
copy of the Bell Labs technical report describing the new version.
By the way, she also distributes Concurrent C, but I believe that that is
a binary distribution.
Enjoy,
