mawk 0.995 an implementation of new awk
can be obtained by anonymous ftp from oxy.edu(134.69.1.2)
in ftp/public/mawk0.995.tar.Z

I can email it to those without ftp access.

Benchmarks included in this distribution indicate mawk
is faster than most new awks; sometimes by a factor of
2 to 3.

Mawk also allows RS to be a regular expression.


This will be released as mawk 1.0 once I add a troffable man page.

major changes from version 0.97:

		faster arrays
		3 bug fixes
		work around for sun4,4.0.3 strtod() bug
		new source file organization


Target OS is all flavors of UNIX and MsDOS
	compiled and tested on:

	sun3, SunOS4.0.3
	sun4, SunOS4.0.3[c]
	BSD43 VAX
	SysVR3 on Stardent3000
	Ultrix4.1 on MicroVax3600
	Ultrix4.1 on mips
	MsDOS compiled TurboC++, small and large model

	cdiffs for V7 will be available next week
