# avg.awk - Average the columns of a table of numbers.
# The table may have varying numbers of fields, any number of fields,
# or any number of records. Missing fields are assumed to be 0.
#
# Usage:
# awk -f avg.awk <table >out
#
# It prints a single line having one number per field, which is the
# average for that field over the whole table.
