Has anyone ported the "new" awk that AT&T has released in source form to the MIPS? We have some folks out here that are interested in getting a license, but are looking for some thoughts from those who have done it before. Please send responses to adam@mips.com. I will summarize if there is significant interest. adam

I received this response from the person who was responsible for our commands base for the past year`or so: #We ported awk from svr3.1 to UMIPS3.0 last year. However, we did #not name it nawk, we named it awk. (I updated the tutorial on awk in the #Programmers Supplementary Manual but failed to make the appropriate changes #to the sysV man pages - I will get that off to doc this week.) This version #of awk matches the descriptions in the book "The AWK Programming Language" #by Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger published by Addison-Wesley in 1988. -- ROGER B.A. KLORESE MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. phone: +1 408 720-2939 928 E.
