NEW ENTRIES FOR THE Awk100
(the Awk100 project collects impressive Awk programs.)

Jawk is Awk, implemented in the Java virtual machine.
Jawk is very useful for extending lightweight scripting in
Awk with (e.g.) network and GUI facilities from Java.

PAGE OF THE WEEK

Google Analytics tells us that awk.info's page of the week
is Scott Pakin's gender guessing game :

http://awk.info/?gender

The code predicts gender, given a first name and is an
excellent (and fun) example of rule-based programming
in Awk.

Enjoy!
