Why not AWK itself?  There are several versions available for the PC,
including my favorite GNU AWK (GAWK) which is available in many MSDOS
archives on the net.  Look for the file GAWK211.ZIP which contains the
source, .EXE, and a decent summary manual.  A thorough manual is available
in GNU archives.
