Our kawk port (kawk-98.02.11). > from http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/bwk/awk.tar.gz I put a bmake/contribified version of this on my Web page (http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard), several months before the port went in. It includes ache's I18N patches, amongst other things. I haven't committed it because: 1. I don't know how to test the I18N stuff. 2. I'm not sure how Posix-compliant it is - it fails some of the Posix tests that come with GNU awk, and I'm not convinced they're all GNU-specific. 3. I didn't get any response to my call for testers. 4. I'd just committed a new version of GNU awk and it didn't seem a good time to change things again. 5. I don't actually know very much about awk - I only worked on it because for some reason people kept emailing me about changing the version in the tree :-) James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
