I am trying to install software to automate mail
routing table maintenance. I have uuhosts, and
the awk in my SCO UNIX 3.2 system is complaining
about the first line in the code below.
---------
state == shead && /^$/ {
if (isuucpmap != 0) {
print "PATH=/bin; umask 0002; cd '$UUCPMAP'" | "'$MAPSH'";
state = suucp;
} else
state = stext;
}
---------
I am new to awk. What is the first line trying to do,
and why, please, is the awk in my system aborting on it?
Thank you.
Dean
