On the topic of awk, a while ago Paul A. Patience did some work to
the awk in Boyd's contrib, so people interested in a native awk have
options these days.
Spew here. I only made minimal changes to 9front awk to convert it to
a native application (this allowed 9front to remove the regexp library
that was duplicated in APE). Arnold: thanks for the information on the
awk improvements. I will look at them and merge them into 9front when
I have time.

Thanks for the info.
I may pull the iso to take a look.
In any case, for those using BWK's awk, it's worth pulling in the
latest set of changes, they're not huge.
Thanks,
Arnold

spew is a 9front user who wanted to improve awk.
there is no separate hg location, branch, etc., awk is in the default
branch of 9front.
i don't know if he wasted a thought on unix while he was doing that,
better ask him: he's on #cat-v on freenode regularly.
the 9front distribution .iso
also check out spew's awk, it's native in 9front.
Hi.
A few years ago Erik synced the Plan 9 awk with Brian Kernighan's.
I have recently gotten BWK to fix some long-standing bugs. His code
is updated and available at https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk.
If "someone" wants to pull in his changes, now's a good time to
do so. :-)
Thanks,
Arnold
