Alas, FICL's author, John Sadler, has optimized the perl script. The main reason for using awk instead of perl was removing a world dependency on perl. It seems we are definitely committed to perl nowadays, so it might be better to just use the newer perl script. OTOH, if we are still perl-safe, I could send you the newer perl script, so you can adapt from that. Mike, what would you prefer? -- Daniel C.
