+		particular in memory management which is currently almost
+		non-existent. */

+/* 2.01		JF:  Modified to compile under GCC, and fixed a few
+		bugs while I was at it.  I hope I didn't add any more.
+		I modified parse.y to reduce the number of reduce/reduce
+		conflicts.  There are still a few left. */

+/* 2.02		Fixed JF's bugs; improved memory management, still needs
+		lots of work. */

+		A number of minor bug fixes and new features from Arnold.
+		Changes for MSDOS from Conrad Kwok and Scott Garfinkle.
+		The gawk.texinfo and info files included! */
