awk '{ print $0 }' << end_of_file > out_file
inline input file...
end_of_file

I have just checked it on another computer (with COMMAND.COM, not
NDOS.COM) and there are two differences:

- error shows for *every* input (not only for >= 512 B);

- error message is 'awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: can't stat fd 0 (Bad
file descriptor (EBADF))'.

Yes, I know, I just hoped it was done already :-).  I think I'll try.
