(My apologies to the net:  I tried to mail to the requestor several different
 ways, all without success.)

There's a pretty good implementation of awk in the MKSToolkit from:

	Mortice Kern Systems, Inc.
	43 Bridgeport Road East,
	Waterloo, Ontario
	Canada, N2J 2J4
	(519) 884-2251

	{allegra,decvax,ihnp4}!watmath!mks!toolkit

I say 'pretty good' only because I have not *exhaustively* tested it, but so 
far it seems to have all the 'new' awk features described in Aho, Kernighan
and Aho's "The AWK Programming Language" (1988) such as expanded string
manipulation capability and user defined function.  The Toolkit also
includes all the important standard UN*X tools and a pretty good implementation
of vi.  Current list price is on the order of $140, but if you check the
ads (ie. Programmer's Connection, for one) I think you can get it for
around $100.
