I've spent too much time reading the perl mailing list; I need
some awk information now ;-).  My understanding is that gawk is Gnu's
answer to awk (the latest version being 2.11.1).  What is nawk? (I find
it referred to in the gawk documentation).  Is one of these two due
to replace awk in V.4?  Some clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks--

Al
