Hi

The latest gawk-3.1.1-4  packaging is kind of strange:

drwxrwxrwx cgf/group         0 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/
drwxrwxrwx cgf/group         0 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/
lrwxrwxrwx cgf/group         0 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/awk -> gawk
-rwxrwxrwx cgf/group    240640 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/gawk-.exe
lrwxrwxrwx cgf/group         0 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/gawk.exe -> gawk-.exe
-rwxrwxrwx cgf/group      3004 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/igawk
-rwxrwxrwx cgf/group    241152 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/pgawk-.exe
lrwxrwxrwx cgf/group         0 2002-10-07 22:08:31 usr/bin/pgawk.exe -> pgawk-.exe

awk, gawk  are effectively symlinks to gawk-.exe and when trying to call either
awk or gawk from a cmd box it results in a popup window:

C:\WINNT\System32\cmd.exe - gawk
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

Maybe this can be changed back to the packaging schema of gawk-3.1.1-3 ??

Ciao
  Volker
