Hi,
 
i try to develop some solutions with = awk on a=20 Windows NT 4.0,
 
One of the features of awk on UNIX is to evaluate = inputs=20 which
i can receive from a pipe.
 
But on NT i can't do so !
 
for example the following awk-script doesn't=20 work:
 
    {
        "ls = -l | sort=20 -r " | getline xxx;
        print=20 xxx;
    }
 
The commands ls and sort do not work in that=20 example.
 
On a Unix-System it works very well.
 
Please give me a little help....
