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. |
