AWK on a PC?

[Paul Rubin]

I believe the free GNU Awk interpreter `gawk' (written by Jay Fenlason
and me) has been ported to the PC.  It is compatible with the old Unix
awk and runs a little bit faster.  A compressed tar file for anonymous
ftp is in /u2/emacs/awk.tar.Z on Internet host prep.ai.mit.edu.
I think someone has written the new awk extensions and is now testing
them, but that version is not yet released.
