I am having trouble using 'bawk' on MacMinix. This is the Minix version 
of the popular 'awk' program used on almost every UNIX system. 'bawk' 
does some simple things like print out fields and whatever, but when it 
gets down to doing some serious programming, it just doesn't cut it.

For example, I can't even set the field seperator on the command line. I 
looked briefly at the source code and noticed that one line defining a 
variable had no '=' or semicolon. ???

Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know a version of 'awk' that 
I can run on MacMinix? I hurtin' for awk!!

Thanks a lot,
