I got a lot of responses to my request for awk. Below are the 4 responses I
got from people who said they ported awk to run under MPW. I took Earle
Horton up on his offer, but not owning MPW I haven't been able to test
the code. If there is enough interest, maybe one of these people will
post their awk.
My thanks to all the people who responded. However, I'm still looking for
something that will run without MPW.

I have ported gawk (gnu version of (old) awk) as an MPW tool.
(If you don't have MPW, it's available as a package with TML Pascal
for around $75.) I haven't debugged it extensively, so it may well
crash on you if you try something elaborate, but it seems to work
pretty well on typical short awk programs.
I've posted it to GENIE, where it may be found in the MACDEV forum.
If you don't have access to GENIE I can mail you binhexed binaries, or
the Aztec C sources.

Send me a formatted double-sided floppy and a return mailer with postage.
You will get GNU awk, GNU grep, flex (lex look-alike), GNU Bison (like yacc),
and some other junk, in source and binary format. Requires MPW shell.
I will be out of town till second week in February.

I have a version of GNU awk running under MPW. It wasn't too difficult
to get ported over. Haven't fully tested it yet, but seems to work
okay.
As far as maccompress and mactar go, you need to get the creator and
file types for those files to the ones that the applications expect.
For tar these are creator 'TAR!' and type 'TARF'. I don't know the
ones for compress off the top of my head, but resedit should reveal
them quite handily.

G'day,
I've ported Gnu awk (version 1.02 I think) to the mac as a full
MPW tool. Currently I am talking to the originators of Gnu awk to get
the latest version so that I can port that. Do you need it urgently
or can you wait till I have ported it?
Regards,
Luke Visser
