There is a recent Bell Labs Computer Science Tech Report -- unfortunately
I don't recall the number -- which is the programmer's manual for the V8
awk.  The manual has assorted V8isms which you have to ignore if you're
using the V7 awk, but is still a far better awk manual than anything
else yet published.
