I have been looking for this program for ages myself. 
In the book "sed & awk" by Dale Dougherty (1992) he spends a whole
chapter discussing the "awkcc" - an awk-to-C compiler, but I haven't
seen anything of it. The closest I've gotten to finding it is two
man-pages describing how wonderful it is!

Please post info here or mail how and where to find this awkcc!

Kind regards,
Bengt
