+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.
