Mortice Kern Systems, of Waterloo Ontario, sells an awk compiler
for MS-DOS.  I haven't used it yet myself, as it is a new product.
It was one of the new features listed in an announcement of the
newest version of their MKS toolkit.  (Your 150 favourite UNIX
utilities, ported to DOS.)

Thompson Automation, of uh, I forget, has been selling
an awk compiler for MS-DOS for at least a year now.
I have basically been happy with it.  One strange feature
is that all of the binaries it has created for me have all
been the same size.

Enjoy!
