+Starting with 2.15.6, gawk will preserve the value of NF and $0 for
+the last record read into the END rule(s). This is important to you
+if your program uses
+
+ print
+
+in an END rule to mean
+
+ print ""
+
+(i.e., print nothing). Examine your awk programs carefully to make sure
+that they use `print ""' instead of `print', otherwise you will get
+strange results.
+
+If you send me email about this, without having read this
+file, I will yell at you.

+
+Some Linux systems, notably RedHat systems through RedHat 4.1, have the
+symbolic links for /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout messed up. Specifically,
+/dev/stdin is linked to ../proc/self/fd/1 and /dev/stdout to
+../proc/self/fd/0. This is backwards. This causes strange behavior
+when using those files from within gawk.
+
+Removing and redoing the symlinks fixes the problem. It is fixed in
+post-4.1 RedHat Linux.

+
+SCO's awk has a -e option which is similar to gawk's --source option,
+allowing you to specify the script anywhere on the awk command line.
+
+This can be a problem, since gawk will install itself as `awk' in
+$(bindir). If this is ahead of /bin and /usr/bin in the search path,
+several of SCO's scripts that use -e will break, since gawk does not
+accept this option.
+
+The solution is simple. After doing a `make install', do:
+
+ rm -f /usr/local/bin/awk # or wherever it is installed.
+
+This removes the `awk' symlink so that SCO's programs will continue
+to work.
+
+If you complain to me about this, I will fuss at you for not having
+done your homework.

+
+I've just built gawk 3.0.3 on my system and have experienced a problem
+with the routine pipeio2.awk in the test suite. However the problem
+appears to be in the tr command rather than gawk.
+
+I'm using SCO Open Server 5. On the version I have there appears to be
+a problem with tr such that:
+
+ tr [0-9]. ...........
+
+does NOT translate 9s. This means that the output from:
+
+ echo " 5 6 7 8 9 10 11" | tr [0-9]. ...........
+
+is:
+
+ . . . . 9 .. ..
+
+This problem causes the pipeio2 test to be reported as a failure.
+
+Note that the following variation on the tr command works fine:
+
+ tr 0123456789. ...........
+
+For your info the details of my system are summarised by the out put
+of the uname -X command, which is:
+
+System = SCO_SV
+Node = sgscos5
+Release = 3.2v5.0.2
+KernelID = 96/01/23

+BusType = EISA

+When compiling on DECstation running Ultrix 4.0 a command 'cc -c -O

+
+Just fyi -- it passes tests with flying colors under Ultrix 4.2. The
+README.ultrix file applies more than ever. You might want to add
+these paragraphs to it:
+
+ As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an
+ additional switch to get everything optimised. Using '-Olimit 1500'
+ does the job. Without the switch gawk will compile and run correctly,
+ but you will get complaints about lost optimisations in builtin.c,
+ awk.tab.c and regex.c.

+On Decstations using Ultrix 4.3, the tweakfld test case will fail. It
+appears that routines in the math library return very small but non-zero
+numbers in cases where most other systems return zero.
+
+From: Juergen Kahrs <jkahrs@castor.atlas.de>

+
+On Ultrix 4.3, configure like this:
+
+ ./configure --disable-nls
+
+In custom.h, we defined HAVE_MKTIME in order to avoid a linker error.
+If you compile with
+
+ make check
+
+every test will pass, except for the badargs test:
+
+ *** Error code 1 (ignored)
+
+This shouldnt cause problems.

+Some older versions of yacc (notably Ultrix's) have limits on the depth
+of the parse stack. This only shows up when gawk is dealing with deeply
+nested control structures, such as those in `awf'.
+
+The problem goes away if you use either bison or Berkeley yacc.
