Has any one a version of "awk" for minix? Obviously a version compatible with the new-awk (functions etc) as described in the awk book book is to be prefered, but a version compatible with old awk would be very nice! Would they be prepared to post it on the "net"? I am sure others would be interrested also. I have heard of a thing called "gawk". I assume that it is a FSF product. Has any one tried gawk under Minix? Is it compilable on a 1-Meg machine? Thank you, Brian Woodroffe. email = bww%hpqtdla@hplabs.HP.COM

It doesn't seem to work right, but if anybody wants to work on it, let me know and I'll send it to you. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

Someone (I don't remember the details) apparently fixed this thing and gave it to the C Users Group in Kansas. You can most likely find an address of the C Users Group in some programming journals. I don't have an address handy at the moment. Tom. -- Tom Poage, UCDMC Clinical Engineering, Sacto., CA poage@sunny.ucdavis.edu {...,ucbvax}!ucdavis!sunny!poage
