does anyone know if nawk exists for the Next? the version of awk that comes with it seems to be an older version, without some of the useful functions that are part of nawk. Thanks. -- Arun Chandra arunc@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu

I got nawk from the Toolchest and it ported with no problems. I don't know about the availablility of a binary version. -- Bob Peirce, Pittsburgh, PA rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us 412-471-5320 venetia@investor.pgh.pa.us [NeXT Mail] ...!uunet!pitt!investor!rbp [UUCP]

Have you tried GNU awk? It *should* port trivially, although I haven't had the ability to try it (yet?). -- Sean Eric Fagan | "I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; sef@kithrup.COM | I had a bellyache at the time." -----------------+ -- The Turtle (Stephen King, _It_) Any opinions expressed are my own, and generally unpopular with others.
