Thanks for clearing up the misconception, Igor. I looked under the Cygwin packages and found gawk, but when I go back to "Install Now!", I don't see where I can select "gawk" under Categories (which includes Admin*Default, Archive*Default, Base*Default, etc.) - which category would gawk be in? 

Thanks, Len
