DOS doesn't understand single quotes ('). If you want to give the
script to gawk in the command line, you must enclose it in double
quotes ("). If the script itself contains double quotes like in
your example, you have to put it in a file and use the -f option.
(Or junk command.com and get something like 4DOS.)
