:Well. Fine fine. But what about using standard-tools? Which *IX is
:_delivered_ with Perl?

The one shipped by CONVEX Computer Corporation, of course.  Call it 
competetive advantage.  :-)

If your vendor doesn't supply perl (and fie on them for not doing so),
then it's trivial to get.  Of course, gawk is equally easy to get.

What systems are _delivered_ with nawk?  I don't see why you think a gawk
program has something over a perl one; it's certainly slower.   If your
point is delivered systems, then nawk/gawk scripts aren't the answer.
