Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Gawk 3.1.5 uploaded

This is a port of GNU Gawk 3.1.5 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  Gawk is an interpreter for text scanning and processing language named
  Awk. It is specifically suited for programs that process text files one
  line at a time, but can also be used for much more complex tasks.



  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  - Minor DJGPP specific issues concerning the config.h and Makefile are
    documented in the diffs file located in the pc subdir.
  - The testsuite will only work if LFN support is available.  This is due
    to the great amount of long file names that can not match on unique
    short file names.  I have no intention to solve this file name conflict.
    Please note that the package can always be compiled and installed on
    SFN systems.  Only the testsuite will not work.
  - The DJGPP port does not support the building of DLLs.  DLLs are not
    supported by DOS nor by DJGPP by the moment.


  Compiling the sources.
  ======================

  Compile, test and install the binaries produced from the source distribution
  running the following commands from the top srcdir, this is gawk-3.1-5:
    make djgpp
    make check
    make install

  5 tests from the testsuite will fail.  Before running the testsuite you may
  need to to create a DJGPP link to date.exe from the fileutilies package.
  To create the link proceed as follows:
  1) cd into DJDIR/bin
  2) stubify -g gdate.exe
  3) stubedit gdate.exe runfile=date
  If there is no gdate.exe available then one test more will fail.

  For futher information about GNU gawk please read the info docs and NEWS file.
