Hello;

	could an awk literate person comment on this ? The behavior on the
follwing line of code appears to be awk version related. a linux guy
running 3.0 patch 0 gets a correct answer, my freebsd 2.2 BETA awk 2.15p5
does not.

mira: {60} cat fd1.dat | awk 'BEGIN { FS = " " }; END { printf "rf= %g; cf
= %g\n;", NR, NF }'

rf= 9801; cf = 0;

cf should be 3!

fd1.dat has 9801 lines and 3 colums of data, and this awk is not reporting
the columns....

 1 1  9.99603081
 1 2  9.99217796
 1 3  9.98843479
 1 4  9.98480034
 1 5  9.98127365
 1 6  9.97785187
 1 7  9.97453499
 1 8  9.97131729
 1 9  9.96820164
 1 10  9.96518326
 1 11  9.96226025
 1 12  9.95943356
 1 13  9.95669937
 1 14  9.95406055
 1 15  9.95152092
 1 16  9.94909954
 1 17  9.94682789
 1 18  9.9446888
 1 19  9.94260406
 1 20  9.94055557
 1 21  9.93869877
 1 22  9.93702602
 1 23  9.93534756
fd1.dat (0%)     

... it goes on and on, but u get the idea....

tnx!
