+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

+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

+
+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:

+
+ As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an

+
+Compiling GAWK on VMS:
+
+ There's a DCL command procedure that will issue all the necessary
+CC and LINK commands, and there's also a Makefile for use with the MMS
+utility. From the source directory, use either
+ |$ @[.VMS]VMSBUILD.COM
+or
+ |$ MMS/DECRIPTION=[.VMS]DECSRIP.MMS GAWK
+
+DEC C -- use either vmsbuild.com or descrip.mms as is.
+VAX C -- use `@vmsbuild VAXC' or `MMS/MACRO=("VAXC")'. On a system
+ with both VAX C and DEC C installed where DEC C is the default,
+ use `MMS/MACRO=("VAXC","CC=CC/VAXC")' for the MMS variant; for
+ the vmsbuild.com variant, any need for `/VAXC' will be detected
+ automatically.
+GNU C -- use `@vmsbuild GNUC' or `MMS/MACRO=("GNUC")'. On a system
+ where the GCC command is not already defined, use either
+ `@vmsbuild GNUC DO_GNUC_SETUP' or
+ `MMS/MACRO=("GNUC","DO_GNUC_SETUP")'.
+
+ Tested under Alpha/VMS V7.1 using DEC C V6.4. GAWK should work
+without modifications for VMS V4.6 and up.
+
+
+Installing GAWK on VMS:
+
+ All that's needed is a 'foreign' command, which is a DCL symbol
+whose value begins with a dollar sign.
+ |$ GAWK :== $device:[directory]GAWK
+(Substitute the actual location of gawk.exe for 'device:[directory]'.)
+That symbol should be placed in the user's login.com or in the system-
+wide sylogin.com procedure so that it will be defined every time the
+user logs on.
+
+ Optionally, the help entry can be loaded into a VMS help library.
+ |$ LIBRARY/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB [.VMS]GAWK.HLP
+(You may want to substitute a site-specific help library rather than
+the standard VMS library 'HELPLIB'.) After loading the help text,
+ |$ HELP GAWK
+will provide information about both the gawk implementation and the
+awk programming language.
+
+ The logical name AWK_LIBRARY can designate a default location
+for awk program files. For the '-f' option, if the specified filename
+has no device or directory path information in it, Gawk will look in
+the current directory first, then in the directory specified by the
+translation of AWK_LIBRARY if it the file wasn't found. If the file
+still isn't found, then ".awk" will be appended and the file access
+will be re-tried. If AWK_LIBRARY is not defined, that portion of the
+file search will fail benignly.
+
+
+Running GAWK on VMS:
+
+ Command line parsing and quoting conventions are significantly
+different on VMS, so examples in _The_GAWK_Manual_ or the awk book
+often need minor changes. They *are* minor though, and all the awk
+programs should run correctly.
+
+ Here are a couple of trivial tests:
+ |$ gawk -- "BEGIN {print ""Hello, World!""}"
+ |$ gawk -"W" version !could also be -"W version" or "-W version"
+Note that upper- and mixed-case text must be quoted.
+
+ The VMS port of Gawk includes a DCL-style interface in addition
+to the original shell-style interface. See the help entry for details.
+One side-effect of dual command line parsing is that if there's only a
+single parameter (as in the quoted string program above), the command
+becomes ambiguous. To work-around this, the normally optional "--"
+flag is required to force shell rather than DCL parsing. If any other
+dash-type options (or multiple parameters such as data files to be
+processed) are present, there is no ambiguity and "--" can be omitted.
+
+ The logical name AWKPATH can be used to override the default
+search path of "SYS$DISK:[],AWK_LIBRARY:" when looking for awk program
+files specified by the '-f' option. The format of AWKPATH is a comma-
+separated list of directory specifications. When defining it, the
+value should be quoted so that it retains a single translation, not a
+multi-translation RMS searchlist.

+--------------------------------------------------------
+Gawk on the Atari has been compiled and tested using gcc, both
+with and without -mshort flag. Other compilers can be used but if
+sizeof(pointer) != sizeof(int) this code will not compile correctly
+with a non-ANSI compiler (prototypes and library).
+
+Compiled executables were tested and passed successfully a test suite
+similar to 'make test'. Required changes are minor and minor
+modifications are due to differences in environment and/or shell. If
+a need will arise a modified test suite with a driving Makefile (for
+gulam) is available on a request from Michal Jaegermann,
+michal@gortel.phys.ualberta.ca or michal@ellpspace.math.ualberta.ca,
+via e-mail.
+
+Sample files atari/Makefile.st, atari/Makefile.awklib and
+atari/config.h assume gcc compilation and execution under TOS; it is
+likely that one would want to change it for another setup. If they
+are ok then copy atari/Makefile.st to Makefile, atari/config.h to
+config.h and atari/Makefile.awklib to awklib/Makefile.. Pay attention
+to code fragments bracketed by '#ifdef atarist ... #endif'. These
+modifications may not be required/desired with a different OS and/or

+README for GNU awk under BeOS
+Last updated MCB, Tue Feb 6 10:15:46 GMT 2001
+
+BeOS port contact: Martin C Brown (mc@whoever.com)
+
+Building/Installing
+--------------------------
+
+Since BeOS DR9, all the tools that you should need to build gawk are now
+included with BeOS. The process is basically identical to the Unix process
+of running configure and then make. Full instructions are given below:
+
+You can compile gawk under BeOS by extracting the standard sources,
+and running the configure script. You MUST specify the location prefix
+for the installation directory. Under BeOS DR9 and beyond the best
+directory to use is /boot/home/config, so the configure command
+would be:
+
+$ configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
+
+This will install the compiled application into /boot/home/config/bin,
+which is already specified in the standard PATH.
+
+Once the configuration process has been completed, you can run make and
+then make install:
+
+$ make
+....
+$ make install
+
+Socket Notes
+----------------------
+
+Due to the socket implementation under BeOS not all of the features under
+gawk's socket implementation may work properly. In particular:
+
+ BeOS does not support a BSD SO_LINGER option, so sockets cannot remain
+ open after a close if data is still present on the incoming buffer.
+
+ BeOS does not allow data to be read from a socket without removing the data
+ from the buffer (peek). If you need to use this feature in gawk, create a
+ separate input buffer and peek into your own copy, rather than the OS version.
+
+ BeOS does not support RAW socket connections, only UDP or TCP.
+
+Note that these are BeOS Unix-layer compatibility problems, and only affect certain
+aspects of network communication. Most socket based gawk scripts, and any scripts
+that do not rely on sockets should work fine (excepting any other notes in this section).
+
+File Handle Notes
+---------------------------
+
+Expect the multiple file test (when running make check) to fail. The reason for this is
+explained in the email shown below:

+
+This problem is directly related to the FOPEN_MAX/OPEN_MAX parameter used in
+the stdio library by the BeOS. It seems that the BeOS strictly enforces this
+number to the point that opening the 128th file causes all previously opened
+files (except stdin/out/err) to be closed - hence the bad number.
+
+I've tried this outside of gawk and the same thing happens, so it's not a
+gawk problem.
+
+I've spent the past few days trying to find a suitable workaround, but it's
+obviously difficult trying to patch a kernel from the outside :))
+
+I'll be reporting this as a bug to Be shortly.

+Thanks for your help there Michael. I wouldn't have thought of that one
+myself without your help :-)
+
+Anyway - for those who must stick with Cygwin here's a method that
+works using the mingw32 makefiles and some modifications:
+
+Basically you need to extract all exportable symbol names from the
+gawk.exe file into a text file and then create a dummy library file
+which we can link against on Cygwin. You then throw the library file
+away because in reality we use the gawk.exe file as the provider of
+those functions.
+
+1. First grab the gawk source, e.g. gawk-3.1.4.tar.bz2 and decompress
+it.
+2. Move to the gawk-3.1.4 directory you just created.
+3. cp pc/* . (copy the pc directory into the main one)
+4. edit makefile - uncomment lines "DYN_FLAGS", "DYN_EXP", "DYN_OBJ"
+and "DYN_MAKEXP=$(DMEmingw32)
+5. make mingw32 (make a gawk.exe)
+6. run "gcc -o gawk.exe array.o builtin.o eval.o field.o gawkmisc.o
+io.o main.o ext.o msg.o node.o profile.o re.o version.o dlfcn.o
+gawk.exp awkgram.o getid.o popen.o getopt.o getopt1.o dfa.o regex.o
+random.o" (i.e. remove the -s from the compile command from the
+makefile so the symbols are left in gawk.exe)
+
+now export all symbols from gawk.exe into foo.def so that we can put
+these in our library
+7. echo EXPORTS > foo.def
+8. nm gawk.exe | grep -E ' [TBD] _' | sed 's/.* [TBD] _//' >> foo.def
+9. cp foo.def gawkw32.def
+
+build the new library with all symbols included
+10. make mingw32
+
+Now you will see a file "libgawk.a" which you can link against to
+create extensions. For example to build an extension called "file" run:
+
+gcc -shared -dll -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I . extension/file.c -o file.dll -L .
+-lgawk
+
+Then you can load it in gawk using the expression:
+
+extension("./file.dll", "dlload");
+
+You must use the gawk you compiled from source though. It won't work
+with any other gawk unfortunately :-( But that's OK because the
+stripped gawk is not too big in size.
+
+Cheers,
+Dave.

+As of gawk 3.1.4, configure should correctly handle HP-UX and
+I18N issues. -- Arnold
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+2003-12-10 15:19:38 EST
+Michael Elizabeth Chastain <mec.gnu@mindspring.com>
+
+I built and tested gawk on hppa-hp-hpux11.11 and ia64-hp-hpux11.23.
+All the tests in the test suite passed.
+
+I built with these compilers:
+
+ gcc 3.3.2
+ hp ansi C from /opt/ansic/bin
+ hp aCC from /opt/aCC/bin
+
+I ran into these problems:
+
+ NLS does not work; configure with --disable-nls.
+ -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 does not work.
+ Multibyte support is not available.
+
+To get multibyte support, the following ugly hack might work:

+The network support "|&" may not work under HP-UX 11.
+An error message appears similar to this:

+
+Solution:
+This is a bug in the fstat() call of HP-UX 11.00, please apply
+the cumulative ARPA Transport patch PHNE_26771 to fix it.
+
+The following is the related description in PHNE_26771:

+ Customer's application gets the wrong value from fstat().
+ Resolution:
+ The value returned via st_blksize is now retrieved

+============================
+
+The Intel IA-64 emulation environment that sits on top of 32-bit Linux
+has problems. Gawk does not work on it.
+
+1. The `sgicc' compiler lies to `configure' and pretends it's gcc. But it
+really isn't, and several things don't work.
+
+2. Even if used with gcc, the executable doesn't run; somehow quoted
+strings don't stay as one argument to gawk, which is, of course,
+disastrous.
+
+3. It's flaky; initially `configure' wouldn't even get past the getpgrp
+test. Then later it would.

+============================
+
+If you use GCC 4.0 under Mac OS X to compile gawk with optimization,
+AND multibyte support is *disabled*, the `ignrcas2' test fails. This is
+a compiler bug. Either compile it without optimization, or use gcc-3.3.

+Sun Dec 3 18:11:09 IST 2000
+============================
+
+The `posix' test will fail because of output format differences but this

+============================
+
+As noted in the NEWS file, as of 3.1.5, gawk uses character values instead
+of byte values for `index', `length', `substr' and `match'. This works
+in multibyte and unicode locales.
+
+Wed Jun 18 16:47:31 IDT 2003
+============================
+
+Multibyte locales can cause occasional weirdness, in particular with
+ranges inside brackets: /[....]/. Something that works great for ASCII
+will choke for, e.g., en_US.UTF-8. One such program is test/gsubtst5.awk.
+
+By default, the test suite runs with LC_ALL=C and LANG=C. You
+can change this by doing (from a Bourne-style shell):
+
+ $ GAWKLOCALE=some_locale make check
+
+Then the test suite will set LC_ALL and LANG to the given locale.
+
+As of this writing, this works for en_US.UTF-8, and all tests
+pass except gsubtst5.
+
+For the normal case of RS = "\n", the locale is largely irrelevant.
+For other single byte record separators, using LC_ALL=C will give you
+much better performance when reading records. Otherwise, gawk has to
+make several function calls, *per input character* to find the record
+terminator. You have been warned.

+This is the README for GNU awk 3.1 under Windows32, OS/2, and DOS.
+
+ Gawk has been compiled and tested under OS/2, DOS, and Windows32 using
+the GNU development tools from DJ Delorie (DJGPP; DOS with special
+support for long filenames under Win95), Eberhard Mattes (EMX; OS/2,
+DOS, and Windows32 with rsxnt), and Jan-Jaap van der Heijden and Mumit Khan
+(Mingw32; Windows32). Microsoft Visual C/C++ can be used to build a Windows32
+version for Windows 9x/NT, and MSC can be used to build 16-bit versions
+for DOS and OS/2. (As of 3.1.2, the MSC version doesn't work, but the
+maintainer for it is working on fixing it.)
+
+ The cygwin environment (http://www.cygwin.com) may also be used
+to compile and run gawk under Windows. For cygwin, building and
+installation is the same as under Unix:
+
+ tar -xvpzf gawk-3.1.x.tar.gz
+ cd gawk-3.1.x
+ ./configure && make
+
+The `configure' step takes a long time, but works otherwise.
+
+******************************** N O T E **********************************
+* The `|&' operator only works when gawk is compiled for cygwin. Neither *
+* socket support nor two-way pipes work in any other Windows environment! *
+***************************************************************************
+
+Building gawk
+-------------
+
+Building on DOS or Windows environments can be troublesome, in part due
+to shell limitations, the long filename issue, and various Windows32 pipe
+considerations. The situation is somewhat better on OS/2. The general
+recommendation is to use tools (especially make) which are compatible
+or built with the compiler to be used on gawk.
+
+Building versions which do not understand long filenames on systems
+that offer long names is a special case. The maintainers unpack the
+distribution and process using utilities (unzip, make, cmp) which do not
+use long filenames. (For example, the djgpp tools will work if LFN=n is
+set in the environment.)
+
+Copy the files in the `pc' directory (EXCEPT for `ChangeLog') to the
+directory with the rest of the gawk sources. (The subdirectories of
+`pc' need not be copied.) The makefile contains a configuration
+section with comments, and may need to be edited in order to work
+with your make utility.
+
+The "prefix" line in the Makefile is used during the install of gawk
+(and in building igawk.bat and igawk.cmd). Since the libraries for
+gawk will be installed under $(prefix)/lib/awk (e.g., /gnu/lib/awk),
+it is convenient to have this directory in DEFPATH of config.h.
+
+The makefile contains a number of targets for building various DOS and
+OS/2 versions. A list of targets will be printed if the make command is
+given without a target. As an example, to build gawk using the djgpp
+tools, enter "make djgpp".
+
+
+Testing and installing gawk
+---------------------------
+
+The command "make test" (and possibly "make install") requires several
+Unix-like tools, including an sh-like shell, sed, cp, and cmp. Only
+dmake and GNU make are known to work on "make test".
+
+There are two methods for the install: Method 1 uses a typical Unix-like
+approach and requires cat, cp, mkdir, sed, and sh; method 2 uses gawk
+and batch files. See the configuration section of the makefile.
+
+The file test/Makefile will need some editing (especially for DOS). A
+sample makefile with comments appears in pc/Makefile.tst, and can be
+used to modify test/Makefile for your platform. In addition, some
+files in the test directory may need to have their end-of-line markers
+converted, as described in Makefile.tst.
+
+As with building gawk, the OS, shell, and long filename issues come into
+play when testing, too. If you are testing gawk on a LFN aware system with
+some LFN aware tools, you may have problems if the shell that you specify in
+test/Makefile is not LFN aware. This problem will apply whether or not
+you are building a LFN aware gawk. See the comments in pc/Makefile.tst
+for more information on this.
+
+It is routine to install by hand, but note that the install target also
+builds igawk.bat and igawk.cmd, which are used to add an include
+facility to gawk (and which require sh).
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+1. Collections containing gawk and various utilities for OS/2 or DOS
+include the GNUish Project, Rommel's OS/2 collection at LEO, and the
+djgpp collection.
+
+The GNUish Project was designed to bring GNU-like programs to small
+systems running OS/2 and DOS. Binary distributions of gawk are
+maintained in GNUish, and include 16bit OS/2 and DOS, 32bit djgpp,
+and Windows32 versions. Information on GNUish is available via
+
+ http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/
+or
+ ftp://ftp.simtel.net/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish
+
+Documentation appears in gnuish.htm (html) or gnuish.inf (info).
+
+Kai Uwe Rommel <rommel@leo.org> maintains a (mostly OS/2) collection at
+
+ http://www.leo.org/archiv/os2 or ftp://ftp.leo.org
+
+It contains emx-compiled (32bit) versions of gawk for OS/2, DOS, and Windows32,
+along with many OS/2 utilities.
+
+The djgpp collection at
+
+ ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/
+
+contains a djgpp-compiled (32bit) version of gawk, along with many
+djgpp-compiled utilities.
+
+The Mingw32 collection at http://www.mingw.org contains links to ported
+software. The site by Jan-Jaap van der Heijden
+
+ http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/
+
+is apparently no longer maintained, but it was accessible as of Jan 2001
+and may contain files of interest.
+
+
+2. The following table illustrates some of the differences among the various
+compiled versions of gawk. For example, the djgpp version runs on all the
+systems, but with differing capabilities: it supports long filenames under
+Win-9x but not under NT, and it runs as a DPMI application under OS/2 (which
+translates into "works in the DOS-box under OS/2, but not as a true OS/2
+application").
+

+

+

+
+ 16 16bit; limited capacity, especially under DOS.
+
+ DOS Runs as a DOS application.
+
+ DPMI Dos Protected Mode Interface; program runs as a DOS application.
+ Under plain DOS, a DPMI server (such as csdpmi from the djgpp
+ archives) is required. See also VCPI.
+
+ emxrt The emx runtime, available from LEO.
+
+ N Not supported.
+
+ NoLFN No long filename support.
+
+ OS2 Runs as an OS/2 application.
+
+ rsxnt Runtimes for use with DPMI or Windows32.
+
+ VCPI Virtual Control Program Interface; program runs as a DOS app.
+ Memory managers (such as emm386) may need adjustment. VCPI cannot
+ be used under OS/2, Win/WfW, Win-95, or NT. See also DPMI.
+
+Windows32 Uses/supports Windows32 features (such as long filenames).
+
+Reportedly, NTEmacs (another Windows32 program) can run programs such as
+Windows32-gawk asynchronously. Similarly, as native OS/2 versions are a
+plus under OS/2 even for command-line programs, native Windows32 versions
+may be desired under NT and Win95.
+
+Users interested in Windows32 applications may also wish to examine the
+Cygnus cygwin project at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ or the
+Mingw32 work at http://www.mingw.org. Windows32 gawk will often require
+that utilities run from within gawk be Windows32 (e.g., the tests place this
+requirement on the cat utility).
+
+
+3. An sh-like shell may be useful for awk programming (and is essential
+for running "make test"). Stewartson's sh (OS/2 and DOS) is a good
+choice, and may be found in GNUish.
+
+Stewartson's shell uses a configuration file (see "Command Line Building"
+in the sh manual page), and it may be necessary to edit the entry for
+gawk. The following entries are suggested:
+
+ -- $(EXTENDED_LINE) -- -- Comment only, not part of file --
+ gawk = unix ignoretype # emxbnd
+ gawk = unix # djgpp; msc* with Stewartson's stdargv
+ # No entry for emx or for msc* without stdargv
+ gawk = ignoretype # if you want something which which always work
+ # --but without the use of @-include files.
+
+However, users of djgpp versions of gawk may prefer "dos" over "unix"
+in the above, due to the way djgpp handles @-include files. Entries
+for other other utilities (such as sed and wc) may need to be edited
+in order to match your specific collection of programs.
+
+Daisuke Aoyama <jack@st.rim.or.jp> has ported Bash 1.14.7 to djgpp.
+This version worked flawlessly in tests with djgpp gawk and make. bash
+is now part of the djgpp collection; the older port may be found on
+
+ http://www.neongenesis.com/~jack/djgpp-work/beta/index.html
+
+Under OS/2, bash should be a good choice; however, there has been some
+trouble getting a solid version. As of Feb-95, there are two bash ports,
+available at LEO under shells/gnu/.
+
+LEO also contains a Korn shell (ksh), tcsh, zsh, and a demo of
+Hamilton's C shell, but these have not been tested with gawk by the
+maintainers. Reports are welcomed.
+
+Users of the emx versions of gawk may wish to set EMXSHELL, which
+overrides COMSPEC when running shells from emx programs. Similarly,
+the djgpp version of gawk respects SHELL.
+
+Compatibility among shells and various utilities (including gawk)
+continues to be a problem. Stewartson's shell may be the best choice
+for emx-compiled programs (although djgpp-bash almost works with
+emx on DOS). GNU make is recommended if using djgpp-bash.
+
+Beginning with 3.0.4, the MSC (DOS/Windows32) and Mingw32 versions write
+pipe and system() commands to a temporary file, and then execute
+with SHELL or COMSPEC. The current mechanism defaults to dos-style
+shell conventions unless the shell is one of sh, bash, csh, tcsh, sh32,
+sh16, or ksh.
+
+
+4. GNU make is available at LEO for OS/2, in the djgpp collection
+for DOS, and in the Mingw32 collection for Windows32.
+
+dmake is by Dennis Vadura (dvadura@watdragon.uwaterloo.ca), CS
+Dept., University of Waterloo. OS/2 and DOS versions can be found as
+part of the GNUish project. Note that DOS users will need the DOS-only
+version (due to the swap requirement).
+
+Ndmake is by D.G. Kneller. This ShareWare program was later released
+as Opus Make (which is available for OS/2 and DOS). Ndmake 4.5 is
+available at
+
+ ftp://ftp.simtel.net/simtelnet/msdos/c/ndmake45.zip
+
+
+5. Stewartson's shell contains sources for a setargv-replacement
+for MSC, which can add enhanced command-line processing capabilities
+to gawk. See the makefile. Note that there is a fatal bug in
+stdargv.c, triggered in the case of no closing quote. The following
+patch treats this case as if a quote was inserted as the last
+character on the command-line.
+
+478,479c478,482
+< else
+< spos = &spos[strlen (cpos)];
+---
+> else {
+> /* No matching quote. Fake it. */
+> spos = cpos + strlen (cpos) + 1;
+> break;
+> }
+
+
+Known bugs
+----------
+
+1. DJGPP version 1 has known problems with signals, and in the way it
+handles command-lines. Older versions of this file contain notes on
+other bugs, and on a few bugs uncovered in the v2 betas. Testing of
+gawk with DJGPP v1 ended with gawk-3.0. djgpp-2.01 and djgpp ports of
+GNU make 3.75 or later are strongly preferred, in part due to enhanced
+support for sh-like shells.
+
+2. emx does not support DST. On 2-Jan-96, Mattes writes:
+
+ Quotation from ISO 9899-1990:
+
+ 7.12.3.5 The strftime function
+ [...]
+ %Z is replaced by the time zone name or abbreviation, or by no
+ characters if no time zone is determinable.
+
+ As emx does not yet support DST, it does not know which one of the two
+ time zones (with DST vs. without DST) applies. In consequence, `no
+ time zone is determinable'.
+
+As a workaround, it may be possible to edit do_strftime() of builtin.c
+according to Mattes' recommendation:
+
+ If you happen to know whether DST applies or not for a given struct
+ tm, just set its tm_isdst to a positive value or to zero, respectively.
+ Then, strftime() will replace %Z with the name of the time zone.
+
+However, this probably won't yield a generic solution given that the rules
+for when DST starts and stops vary depending upon your location and the
+rules have changed over time. Most versions of UNIX maintain this
+information in a database (of sorts). In Solaris, for instance, it can be
+found in /usr/share/zoneinfo/*. The setting of the TZ environment variable
+(eg. TZ=US/Pacific) is then used to lookup the specifics for that locale.
+
+3. The 16-bit DOS version can exhaust memory on scripts such as Henry
+Spencer's "awf". Use GNU C versions if possible.
+
+4. builtin.c of gawk-3.0.[1-6] triggers a bug in MSC 6.00A. The makefile
+works around the bug by compiling builtin.c without optimizations (-Od).
+In limited testing, it appears that inserting some dummy code in
+builtin.c can provide a better solution than disabling optimizations.
+
+5. There are problems with system() when using the rsx package with emx
+programs (rsx is used in DPMI environments such as MS-Win). The djgpp
+versions are preferred in this case.
+
+6. In contrast to getpid() on UNIX, the getpid() in Microsoft C/C++ 1.52
+(AKA 8.0) sometimes returns negative numbers. The DOS Gawk developers felt
+that it was best to use Microsoft's built-in function; but at the same time,
+we are placing this warning here, because this behavior will undoubtably be
+surprising to many.
+
+7. MSC 6 fails the strftlng test. The funstack test exhausts memory
+on the 16bit DOS versions.
+
+8. Eli Zaretskii writes: "Make can crash with SIGFPE after finishing all
+the tests. This happens on Windows 95 only, and Gawk 3.0.3 does that as
+well (as do older versions of Make). The cause for this is the log(-1)
+call in the last test. Based on some limited testing, I'd say that the
+problem is in sloppy Windows handling of the FPU: it doesn't clean up the
+FPU after a program exits, so if Make has SIGFPE unmasked, it crashes."
+
+9. gawk built from the mingw32 and vcWin32 targets continues to have
+problems with pipes; in particular, the pipeio1 test fails.
+
+10. As mentioned above, `|&' only works with cygwin.
+
+
+Gawk thanks
+-----------
+
+The DOS maintainers wish to express their thanks to Eli Zaretskii
+<eliz@is.elta.co.il> for his work and for the many conversations
+concerning gawk, make, and djgpp. His FAQ for djgpp is essential
+reading, and he was always willing to answer our questions (even when
+we didn't read the relevant portions of the FAQ :).
+
+We are indebted to Juan Grigera <juan@biophnet.unlp.edu.ar> for the
+Visual C++ target, and for additional help on changes for Windows32.
+
+
+----
+If you have any problems with the DOS or OS/2 versions of Gawk,
+please send bug reports (along with the version and compiler used) to
+
+ Scott Deifik, scottd.mail@sbcglobal.net (DOS versions)
+or
+ gawk-maintainer@unixos2.org (OS/2 version)
+ Darrel Hankerson, hankedr@mail.auburn.edu

+This is the README for dynamic extension support for GNU awk 3.1.2 under Windows32
+This part of the README is directed to the gawk maintainers.
+
+The implementation consists of
+
+pc/dlfcn.h
+pc/dlfcn.c
+ An implementation of the POSIX dynamic loading functions for Windows32.
+ Bugs and limitations:
+ the RTLD_* flags are ignored
+ passing NULL as the module name is not really supported.
+ dlerror() doesn't always generate useful output.
+
+pc/w32dynamic.patch
+ A patch to pc/Makefile. This adds macros to allow dynamic loading
+ to be compiled in. The macros (DYN_EXP, DYN_OBJ, DYN_FLAGS, and
+ DYN_MAKEXP) are commented-out by default (which is the default on
+ Unix as well). I've added definitions only for MS VC and MinGW.
+ I also added support for pgawk under MS VC and MinGW.
+
+pc/gawkw32.def
+ A list of functions to export from gawk.exe. Every function used
+ in an extension DLL needs to be in this file. I've added the ones
+ required by the provided examples, but some thought should go into
+ determining a useful set of API functions. From a maintenance
+ perspective, it's important that the ordinals (the number following @)
+ never change. You can use an existing DLL with a gawk.exe which has
+ new exported functions, but if you change the ordinal of an existing
+ function, you have to recompile all the extensions that use it.
+
+extension/Makefile.pc
+ A make file which compiles a few of the extension examples.
+ Only readfile, ordchr, and arrayparm are built, since the
+ other functions didn't compile without sizeable modifications.
+
+extension/pcext.def
+ A module definition file which exports dlload.
+
+extension/w32dynamic.patch
+ A patch to readfile.c to have it open files in binary mode. Without
+ this, the bytes read doesn't always match the file size.
+
+w32dynamic.patch
+ A patch to awk.h. This makes the temporary variable _t static and
+ adds an attribute to some data declarations when WIN32_EXTENSION is
+ defined. The issue is that data imported from a separate module has
+ a different level of indirection from the same data in the
+ original module. The difference can be made transparent by adding
+ __declspec(dllimport)) to the declarations used in the importing module.
+ Since _t doesn't actually have to be shared, I've just made it
+ static to the extension module and avoided the problem.
+
+README_d/README.pcdynamic
+ This file.
+
+The remainder of the file is intended for people installing and using gawk
+and probably ought to be added to README.pc
+---
+To compile gawk with dynamic extension support, uncomment the
+definitions of DYN_FLAGS, DYN_EXP, DYN_OBJ, and DYN_MAKEXP in the
+configuration section of Makefile. There are two definitions for
+DYN_MAKEXP -- pick the one that matches your target.
+
+To build some of the example extension libraries, cd to the extension
+directory and copy Makefile.pc to Makefile. You can then build using the same
+two targets. To run the example awk scripts, you'll need to either change the
+call to the `extension' function to match the name of the library (for
+instance, change "./ordchr.so" to "ordchr.dll" or simply "ordchr"), or rename
+the library to match the call (for instance, rename ordchr.dll to ordchr.so).
+
+If you build gawk.exe with one compiler but want to build an extension library
+with the other, you need to copy the import library. Visual C uses a library
+called gawk.lib, while MinGW uses a library called libgawk.a. These files
+are equivalent and will interoperate if you give them the correct name.
+The resulting shared libraries are also interoperable.
+
+To create your own extension library, you can use the examples as models, but
+you're essentially on your own. Post to comp.lang.awk or send e-mail to
+ptjm@interlog.com if you have problems getting started. If you need to access
+functions or variables which are not exported by gawk.exe, add them to
+gawkw32.def and rebuild. You should also add ATTRIBUTE_EXPORTED to the
+declaration in awk.h of any variables you add to gawkw32.def.
+
+Note that extension libraries have the name of the awk executable embedded in
+them at link time, so they will work only with gawk.exe. In particular, they won't
+work if you rename gawk.exe to awk.exe or if you try to use pgawk.exe. You can
+perform profiling by temporarily renaming pgawk.exe to gawk.exe. You can resolve
+this problem by changing the program name in the definition of DYN_MAKEXP for
+your compiler.
+
+On Windows32, libraries are sought first in the current directory, then in the
+directory containing gawk.exe, and finally through the PATH environment
+variable.

+The Tandem port was done on a Cyclone machine running D20.
+The port is pretty clean and all facilities seem to work except for
+some of the I/O piping stuff which is just too foreign a concept for
+Tandem.
+
+Usage is as for UNIX except that D20 requires all "{" and "}" characters
+to be escaped with "~" on the command line (not in script files) and the
+standard Tandem syntax for "/in filename,out filename/" must be used
+instead of the usual UNIX "<" and ">" for file redirection. (Redirection
+options on getline, print etc are supported.)
+
+The -mr=val option has been "stolen" to enable Tandem users to
+process fixed-length records with no "end-of-line" character. That
+is, -mr=74 tells gawk to read the input file as fixed 74-byte
+records.
+
+To build a Tandem executable from source, down-load all of the files
+so that the file names on the Tandem box are, for example ARRAYC or
+AWKH. That is, make all of the file names conform to the restrictions
+of D20. The "totally Tandem-specific" files are in the tandem
+"subvolume" and should be copied to the main src directory before
+building gawk.
+
+The file compit can then be used to compile and bind an executable.

+From: "Nelson H. F. Beebe" <beebe@math.utah.edu>
+Cc: beebe@math.utah.edu, sysstaff@math.utah.edu, othmer@math.utah.edu
+Subject: gawk-3.0.4 and a GNU/Linux gotcha
+
+Yesterday, I was assisting a colleague install some software on his
+GNU/Linux machine for which uname -r reports 2.2.14.
+
+A (mis)feature of this system, which I've never encountered before,
+broke the build of one of my programs, and also of gawk-3.0.4.
+
+Namely, the kernel will not execute anything that resides in /tmp,
+though it will if the same script is in /usr/tmp!
+
+% cat /tmp/foo.sh
+#! /bin/sh
+echo hello
+
+ls -l /tmp/foo.sh
+-rwxr-xr-x 1 othmer math 22 Apr 21 10:34 /tmp/foo.sh*
+
+% /tmp/foo.sh
+bash: /tmp/foo.sh: Permission denied
+
+% cp /tmp/foo.sh /usr/tmp
+
+% /usr/tmp/foo.sh
+hello
+
+Thus, programs that do a temporary install in /tmp, as some of mine do
+in order to run the validation suite, will fail.
+
+gawk-3.0.4, and likely other gawk versions, hits this problem too. It
+fails because test/poundbang starts with
+
+#! /tmp/gawk -f
+
+I tracked down where it comes from:
+
+% grep /tmp /etc/fstab
+/dev/hda3 /tmp ext2 rw,nosuid,noexec,nouser,auto,async,nodev 1 1
+ !!!!!!
+
+Since this is done via a mount command, potentially ANY directory tree
+could be mounted with noexec.
