I think, that with a little work, you could convert nstats from Perl to
awk (I have no plans to do so at this time).  If you do, please send me
a copy - if it functions relatively the same, I will try to maintain and
upgrade it alongside the Perl version.

That being said, I would like to add that Perl is a very nice language,
and worthy of your time to install it.  Having convinced my company to
include Perl as a member of the PD (Public Domain/Distribution) tape
provided with each system, I may have written my last awk script.
