Hi
From time to time I run out of memory using awk with associative arrays in
cygwin. Up to now I rebooted Ubuntu 64, ran the file and returned to cygwin
on xp64. I got a new machine with vista ultimate 64 (I had choices of other
vistas NO XP)/ �Microsoft provides a 64 bit Korn shell with awk� (based on
interix) which works with ultimate 64 which works up to at least 10GB of
memory in awk. �There are only about 150 tools provided but it is allegedly
possible to build bash on interix as well. I have no idea about performance
but it�s faster than rebooting.
