MS-DOS Compilation notes for BAWK 
 
This version of BAWK was compiled using the Computer Innovations 
C86 compiler version 2.30J.  I compiled with the flags -ifu for 
long identifiers, frugal code size and conversion of char to 
unsigned char.   Adding #define's for void, NOT, TRUE and FALSE 
to stdio.h was needed, and NOT was used as both a boolean (!) and 
arithmetic (-) operator.  I never determined why. 
 
I tested BAWK, although not extensively.   Its not lightening 
fast, but it is pretty flexible.  I would like to speed it up, 
test it more throughly and check its compatibility with AWK. 
Some thoughts are inclusion of routines discussed in Computer 
Language (Nov 86) regarding Boyer-Moore string searches.
