Has anyone out there gotten Erik Fair's Usenet stats awk script to run
under Microport System V/AT? I'm running 2.3.0, and when I try it, I
get:
awk: out of space in tostring on moray
record number 1
I'm not an awk guru, so that message is somewhat less than enlightening.
I'll rip into it myself if necessary, but don't really know where to
start looking.
Thanks...

This is not surprising, as the System V/AT awk is complied as a small model program, and only has 64K of data. It evidently was too much trouble to fix the pointer references, etc in awk to get it complied as a large model program. -- Paul Homchick UUCP: {allegra | rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc.; One Radnor Station, Suite 300; Radnor, PA 19087

Has anyone been able to get Larry Wall's perl to run on Sys V/AT to replace the awk that can't. I try cc perl and get Fatal Error -117

Yeah...same thing happens on SCO XENIX. I've pared down Erik's script to the most interesting stuff, and I'd be glad to mail out a copy if interested. For example, I've thrown out the "bad newsgroups received" list, which is huge to the point of worthlessness on a site which doesn't have a full news feed, like me. -- Chip Rosenthal chip@vector.UUCP | I've been a wizard since my childhood.

Don't know about Xenix, but the 8/31/86 Eric Fair script works just fine on my SysV/AT, with the very minor exception of dropping the first character of the entries on bad news groups received (i.e., "comp.unix.microporti" becomes "omp.unix.microport". I'm running SysV/AT, version 2.2L--a pretty old one. If anyone wants a copy of the awk script I have, please send mail. -- UUCP: ...!{rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!aplcen!wb3ffv!fallst!tkevans OTHER: ...!attmail!fallst!tkevans Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Court, Fallston, MD 21047 (301) 965-3286

A quick hdr /bin/awk on Xenix 2.2.3 for the 80386 reveals that it's a small model 8086 program. Maybe the new release, 2.3, delivers more native 80386 binaries for utilities. Would anybody from SCO care to comment? I must get 2.3 out of the box and install it... -- Dominic Dunlop domo@sphinx.co.uk domo@riddle.uucp
