I fully agree with that. POSIX compatibility is our primary goal here. We= =20 don't need Another One non-POSIX Private Awk clone by the price of be=20 GNU-free here. BTW, I was among few who dislike GAWK replacement with BAWK, because of=20 poor BAWK POSIX compatibility. Initially it was in even more poor state=20 than now, it is a long story how our fixes was accepted in the one release= =20 and then rejected in the following one afterwards and so on. IMHO I still think that GAWK is more actively developed (I mean betas, not= =20 2002 release, FSF releases are very obsoleted as usual) and have good a=20 chances to become truly multibyte, but we already made our choice long=20 time ago( --=20 http://ache.pp.ru/ --a8Wt8u1KmwUX3Y2C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iQCVAwUBRRDDxOJgpPLZnQjrAQKEZgQAmL4Nwdv3kX6Ir643y0AvOhPeZjOHDCnt Y2t5h9W9Af2o1WZzblbh/TOlLM0aXDwwE6eb3RrMUKQlOALAcy/Iylz3AdQi4sqH 1eyXSVASNEHWrt3CPDDk+ZyzDM5DOG6jHGjqMUqKldlRD30EErdXUrFOJp5zddV4 TruMWBnrgy8= =O9/W -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --a8Wt8u1KmwUX3Y2C--
