(gawk) Atari Installation

 
 Installing `gawk' on the Atari ST
 =================================
 
    There are no substantial differences when installing `gawk' on
 various Atari models.  Compiled `gawk' executables do not require a
 large amount of memory with most `awk' programs and should run on all
 Motorola processor based models (called further ST, even if that is not
 exactly right).
 
    In order to use `gawk', you need to have a shell, either text or
 graphics, that does not map all the characters of a command line to
 upper-case.  Maintaining case distinction in option flags is very
 important ( Command Line Options Options.).  These days this is
 the default, and it may only be a problem for some very old machines.
 If your system does not preserve the case of option flags, you will
 need to upgrade your tools.  Support for I/O redirection is necessary
 to make it easy to import `awk' programs from other environments.
 Pipes are nice to have, but not vital.
