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
