I was certain that I have tried this, and it failed. I sent a note to the
author of ms_sh200, Stewartson, and he replied that a recompilation was
needed.
ms_sh200 was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc (and it included an OS/2 version)
some time ago. In the post, stewartson said that he hoped to post sources
to c.b.i.p someday.

But does it really use the @filename-convention? I was certain that it did not.
This thread no longer concerns djgpp directly, but I'll ask one more question
anyway: Is it possible to get sh to pass quoted lines to gawk? I can never
get these unix scripts to work without cutting the gawk line to be of
the form
gawk -f file.awk
Rommel suggests using " instead of ', but I think I've tried this (and will
try again tonight).
