Good morning, when installing gawk-2.13 on sco v3.2.2 with cc, a compiler error occurred in eval.c, which could be tracked down to a macro definition in gawk.h for 'force_number', which apparently also causes msc5.1 under dos to bomb. A fix given in gawk.h using a variable called '_msc51bug' also works for sco. To fix, either change gawk.h appropriately, or add -DDEBUG to the compiler options, which causes a much simpler form of this macro to be used, which works. Let me add, that, after successful installation, gawk works fine, fast, and on lines of several kbytes length, which is beyond the capabilities of the awk included by sco. G. Becker
