+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
+Machine = Pentium
+BusType = EISA
+Serial = 4EC023443
+Users = 5-user
+OEM# = 0
+Origin# = 1
+NumCPU = 1
