David patched the gawk regex for EBCDIC. That's pretty much all that was
required to get gawk running on z/OS as it's very portable.
From what I've seen of David's work he's a very good engineer.

I brushed up against one of David Pitts's ports (gcc, IIRC) several years
ago. My impression is that David is oriented to Classic MVS facilities
such as PDS and tends to ignore support of z/OS UNIX files, directories,
program objects, etc.
