(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. -Sorry, no make and no autoconfig. - -This is my first UNIX port to Tandem so I may well have missed the best -way of doing things: I just desperately needed a working awk at a -Tandem shop. - -Cheers, -Stephen Davies -(scldad@sdc.com.au) |
