[comp.misc] AWK-2-C Translator Wanted

ramsey@malathion (Ed Ramsey) (07/17/90)

I am working on a project which requires a significant amount of
"canned" post-processing to produce useful reports.  I intend to
prototype the post-processing software in AWK.  There are
numerous sites around the United States who will need to use this
post-processing software (many of whom are using PC computers)
and I was hoping there was a free or inexpensive way to translate
my AWK source into compilable C code.  Does anyone know of such a
beast?

Thanks!

-Ed

AT&T has one in the toolchest.  The price was fairly reasonable, although
I don't remember what it was exactly.  Or, if you're ambitious, you could
start hacking on gawk....
