Yes there is a port of GAWK for VMS. It is available from the SRI archives by anon ftp, sorry I don't remember the address. You could ask on comp.os.vms for the address, it is run by Ric Steinberger. The author of the port is Pat Rankin (gawk.rankin@eql.caltech.edu). I have been using it for about a month now with very few problems. The only thing you really need to be careful about is that you compile with CC/NOOPT for pre-vms-5 systems, or with CC/OPT=NOINLINE for VMS 5.X. Omitting this will produce strange results for some operations (while most will be fine.) This is a problem with VAX C, not with Gawk. Jeff Templon
