If the former is there a bug report in hand (I >couldn't find one when I did a quick search at >www.delorie.com/djgpp ) Please check back at the unofficial 2.04 page in a few days for the next update and give it another try. There are a few problems with find that was uploaded in Decmber and Janurary which have since been fixed in a build I did last week usign the latest LIBC code. If previosu 2.04 gawk versions worked then I expect that this should be fixed in the enxt update. If you cannot wait then email me at the address given on the 2.04 page. Andrew
