-README:
-
-This is GNU Awk 3.1.0. It is upwardly compatible with the Bell Labs
-research version of awk. It is almost completely compliant with the
-1993 POSIX 1003.2 standard for awk. (See the note below about POSIX.)
-
-There are lots of new features -- see NEWS and ChangeLog for details.
-
-Work to be done is described briefly in the FUTURES file. Changes in this
-version are summarized in the NEWS file. Please read the LIMITATIONS file.
-
-Read the file POSIX.STD for a discussion of how the standard says
-comparisons should be done vs. how they really should be done and how
-gawk does them.
-
-To format the documentation with TeX, use at least version 2000-10-27.17
-of texinfo.tex. There is a usable copy of texinfo.tex in the doc directory.
-
-INSTALLATION:
-
-Check whether there is a system-specific README file for your system under
-the `README_d' directory. If there's something there that you should
-have read and didn't, and you bug me about it, I'm going to yell at you.
-
-See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
-
-If you have neither bison nor yacc, use the awkgram.c file here. It was
-generated with bison, and has no proprietary code in it. (Note that
-modifying awkgram.y without bison or yacc will be difficult, at best.
-You might want to get a copy of bison from the FSF too.)
-
-If you have a Win32, MS-DOS or OS/2 system, use the stuff in the `pc'
-directory. Similarly, there is a separate directory for VMS.
-
-Ports for the Atari and Tandem are supplied, but they are unsupported.
-Thus, their code appears in the `unsupported' directory.
-
-Appendix B of ``GAWK: Effective Awk Programming'' discusses configuration
-in detail. The configuration process is based on GNU Autoconf and
-Automake.
-
-After successful compilation, do `make check' to run the test suite.
-There should be no output from the `cmp' invocations except in the
-cases where there are small differences in floating point values, and
-possibly in the case of strftime. Several of the tests ignore errors
-on purpose; those are not a problem. If there are other differences,
-please investigate and report the problem.
-
-PRINTING THE MANUAL
-
-The `doc' directory contains a recent version of texinfo.tex, which will
-be necessary for printing the manual. Use `make dvi' to get a DVI file
-from the manual. In the `doc' directory, use `make postscript' to get
-PostScript versions of the manual, the man page, and the reference card.
-
-BUG REPORTS AND FIXES (Un*x systems):
-
-Please coordinate changes through Arnold Robbins. In particular, see
-the section in the manual on reporting bugs. Note that comp.lang.awk
-is about the worst place to post a gawk bug report. Please, use the
-mechanisms outlined in the manual.
-
-Email should be sent to bug-gawk@gnu.org. This address sends mail to
-Arnold Robbins and the general GNU utilities bug list. The advantage
-to using this address is that bug reports are archived at GNU Central.
