Recommended update because of bugs in versions < 3.0.4 (as Dirk reports). Recommendation: probably it would be useful to import this version into -current, let it settle there for a month and then merge it into 3.x-STABLE.

This is GNU Awk 3.0.4. It should be upwardly compatible with the Bell
|
|
Labs research version of awk. It is almost completely compliant with
|
|
the 1993 POSIX 1003.2 standard for awk. (See the note below about POSIX.)
|
|
|
|
Patches 1 through 4 just fix bugs -- see NEWS and ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
Known problems are given in the PROBLEMS file. Work to be done is
|
|
described briefly in the FUTURES file. Verified ports are listed in
|
|
the PORTS file. Changes in this version are summarized in the NEWS file.
|
|
Please read the LIMITATIONS and ACKNOWLEDGMENT files.
|
|
|
|
Read the file POSIX for a discussion of how the standard says comparisons
|
|
should be done vs. how they really should be done and how gawk does them.
|
|
|
|
To format the documentation with TeX, use at least version 2.151 of
|
|
texinfo.tex. There is a usable copy of texinfo.tex in the doc directory.
|
|
|
|
The Info file now comes with the distribution.
|
|
|
|
The man page is up to date.
