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.
