     On some BBSes, there is a program called BAWK, which purports to be a
"version" of awk for MSDOS.  It usually comes with sources only (i.e., NO
executables).  Out of curiosity, I compiled it -- and managed to do it --
but that's about it.  I really don't know if it works, or, if it does work,
how well it works (I don't know much about awk -- the only time I tried to
use awk on UN*X, I couldn't because of a bug in UN*X awk).
