If t.awk contains: { print $0 } then the command awk -f t.awk generates an error message in the first line. The message indicates that awk is having difficulty with the character immediately after the first curly bracket. Perhaps I did not install correctly. Does anyone else have this problem? Thoughts on what to do? Thanks in advance. Jim Johnson -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
