Err, actually you claimed that this (i.e. 'random awk scripts work[ing] better') is why mawk is the default, but that's complete and utter rubbish. Mawk is the default because it's small. It's been the default for as long as I can remember and/or have been in Debian which is considerably more than 2 years. (I'm also sceptical that you found valid awk scripts that "work better" with mawk versus gawk, but that's largely a side issue) -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
