Mawk 0.97 an implementation of awk as defined in
Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger, The AWK Programming Language,
Addison-Wesley, 1988
follows in 4 parts.
The 1988 definition of awk adds several features that
significantly enhance the language, including expanded
regular expression features, built-in substitution functions,
more IO control and user defined functions.
Advantages of mawk:
1) Mawk is fast. Benchmarks against 3 other new awks are included
in the distribution.
2) The record separator, RS, is interpreted as a regular expression.
This make operations which are basically not line oriented easier
to program and improves performance in some cases.
The posting is in shar format:
Cut off the tops, cat to a file and sh file from the directory you
want to be the parent of the mawk0.97 directory.
