I am trying to install software to automate mail routing table maintenance. I have uuhosts, and the awk in my SCO UNIX 3.2 system is complaining about the first line in the code below. --------- state == shead && /^$/ { if (isuucpmap != 0) { print "PATH=/bin; umask 0002; cd '$UUCPMAP'" | "'$MAPSH'"; state = suucp; } else state = stext; } --------- I am new to awk. What is the first line trying to do, and why, please, is the awk in my system aborting on it? Thank you. Dean uunet!uwm.edu!mixcom!news
