Has someone succeed to get 'gawk' work  after comp  under TurboC  / TurboC++ in
MS-DOS 4.01?

I've recompiled gawk 2.10 using ANSI-C-set in Turbo  C++ 1.0.   The compilation
itself gave a big number  of warnings.   'regex.c'  even  caused some real
problems for the compiler, like complaining  about redeclaration  of things not
being redeclared (for ex a definition and declaration of a static function with
exactly the same arguments in a source file) -  and the  only way  to solve the
problem was to move  around functions  to the  beginning of  the file.   Due to
stack overflow I had to set _stklen to 0x1a00 (proposed 0x1800 for MicroSoft C)

When I finally has  got a  gawk.exe and  tried to  run, the  program crashed my
system even for such a simple directives (in a file) like "{print $2}". 

It is obvious that something writes over  something.   However I've  got a gawk
which has  been compiled  unde Miscrosoft  C.   And it  works perfectly (well..
directives passed as awk-argument does not work).

I will appresiate any ideas how to solve the problem! Thanks!
