Well ... GNU isn't exactly public domain, but they do have an AWK.

It's called "GAWK" ... The last I heard was that it was in Beta test,
and since I'm a beta tester for it I suppose I'd have heard if it
had come out of beta-stage....

I don't have any documentation, so I'm not for sure of this ... but
I believe this awk doesn't have any of the V8 features like procedures.

It oughta be portable to MS-DOS ... and if it aint, then I'm sure
they'd love it if you ported it there for them ... :-)
