# The version of GAWK for the IBM-PC that was created by
# Andy Estes and Steve Liberty has a bug in gsub(). 
# It doesn't return the correct number of substitions made
# The following program prints "1" instead of "2"
{print gsub(/;/,"")}
# when reading the input record:  asdf ; zxcv ;
# Does anyone have a fix?
