I've received several requests for this, including some from people
who want the source just to have all the floating point overhead removed.

The complete source to gawk is large, so I plan on posting just the
necessary portions, with pointers to where to get the full source.
In other words, most of the documentation and some of the source
code that is not relevant to MINIX will be left out.

Now that I've temporarily gotten my news feeds straigtened out,
I plan on posting gawk in about 2 days.
