Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Gawk 4.0.2 uploaded.
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of GNU Gawk 4.0.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


   GNU 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.
   =======================

   - Add CVS version of popen.c to avoid that gawk is linked to the broken
     one from djdev204 (beta 1).
   - Minor DJGPP specific issues concerning the way the sources are 
compiled
     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 clashes.  I have no intention to solve these file 
name
     conflicts.  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 momment.


   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-4.0-2:
     make djgpp
     cd test
     make -f Makefile.tst
     cd ..
     make install

   7 tests from the testsuite will fail without aborting the test suite.
   This is expected to happen.  The test case: manyfiles may abort the 
complete
   testsuite.  This is because it tries to open 300 files exhausting the 
amount
   of file descriptors that the OS offers.  I have reduced the number to 
245,
   so the test should work if you have set the "files" directive in your
   config.sys or config.nt to around the max. value of 255.

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


   The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and 
consists
   of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from 
ftp.delorie.com and
   mirrors as (timestamp 2013-02-09):

   The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
   djdev204 beta library.  This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and
   mirrors as (timestamp 2013-02-09):
