Gawk 3.0.3 notes
________________

These are short notes regarding this 'quick and dirty' RISC OS port of GNU awk
3.0.3. Please don't expect any of the 'fancy' stuff to work (although some of
it might), because I haven't tested it.

This is the GNU version of the well known Unix commandline utility 'awk'. Awk
is a small interpreted programming language that is geared towards processing
text files (e.g. simple databases). It provides functionality to do complex
things with text using just a few lines of code.

I'm not providing sources or docs, please get these from almost anywhere on the
Internet, for example from :

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gawk-3.0.3.tar.gz

Then follow the 'recipe' in BuildHow (if you want to compile gawk yourself).

The binary should be compatible with :

- RISC OS 3.1 and later
- ARM 2 and later processors (26- or 32-bit architectures)
