In an earlier posting of mine in the "mawk" thread, I referred to some
bug/problem that existed in the final Mike B. version (1.3.3) but that I
knew had been fixed in the 1.3.4 branch. I now remember what it was.
It is the ability to have NULL bytes in strings.
GAWK, TAWK, and the Dickey version of Mawk all support this.

As I noted earlier, the "google drive" thing is broken and the second page
is unreadable.
Anyway, glad to hear that it will be fixed.
