I'm looking for an Awk program to run on my MS-DOS machine. I would like to
find a source in the public domain, but any info on a version which isn't
public domain would be very helpful too.
Thanks,
-mark

The Toolkit is available now from the address below for $139 (US). Also, the same AWK unbundled (called MKS AWK) is scheduled for release on October 1, 1987 and will sell for $75 list (+$14 for the optional AWK book, as below). The MKS version of AWK is the only (known) MS-DOS implementation that supports all the latest features in the (soon-to-be) standard reference book for AWK "The AWK Programming Language" by Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan which will be published in September 1987. These features include: - function definition - static and dynamic regular expression matching and substitution - multi-dimensioned arrays plus all the standard V7, BSD, and System V features of the "old" awk. -- ll // // ,~/~~\' Randall Howard {decvax,ihnp4,seismo}!watmath!mks!rand /ll/// //l' `\\\ Mortice Kern Systems Inc. / l //_// ll\___/ 43 Bridgeport Rd.

When I called up MKS to order version 2.2 of the toolkit, they
told me to order it from an outfit in Ohio called Programmers
Connection. It was only $99 (US). I am very happy with it,
especially the Korn shell and vi.

GNU isn't exactly public domain, but they do have an AWK. It's called "GAWK" ... The last I heard was that it was in Beta test, and since I'm a beta tester for it I suppose I'd have heard if it had come out of beta-stage.... I don't have any documentation, so I'm not for sure of this ... but I believe this awk doesn't have any of the V8 features like procedures. It oughta be portable to MS-DOS ... and if it aint, then I'm sure they'd love it if you ported it there for them ... :-) -- ----- David Herron, Local E-Mail Hack, david@ms.uky.edu, david@ms.uky.csnet ----- {uunet,cbosgd}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET ----- ----- Je parle francais comme une vache espagnole.

Well, I can't claim to be an expert on awk, but I've used bawk and it seems to work. It doesn't implement the full awk, but the parts that it does do it does correctly. I have taken a script written for bawk and used it on the real thing with no problem except for a slight incompatibility in how the FILENAME internal variable is handled (sorry, I don't remember the details except that there was an incompatibility). You will want to make sure that the #define in the bawk code to set the line length (don't remember the name, but it's something obvious) is set to something good and long. Strange things happen when it reads in a too-long line, and the original line-length value of 128 wasn't long enough for what I was doing. If you can't find it at a local BBS, Sourcery Systems BBS has it. Their number is 405-728-2463. They've got all sorts of other goodies too. As I recall, they have both C source and executable for BAWK. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Todd USSnail:820 Annie Court,Norman OK 73069 UUCP: {allegra!cbosgd|ihnp4}!occrsh!uokmax!rmtodd

Does anyone know if there is a GNU version of awk or any version of awk that I can get and compile to run on a mac os?
