The reason we use mawk is because it's what we started with in the wee days of life, and to the best of my knowledge, have never had a problem with. I have a gawk package just sittin' around though. If mawk is indeed broken somehow, we could switch. I suppose if new features are still being added to the awk language, gawk would be the one to pick them up quicker. - J _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
