I've noticed that current builds of GAWK install something called 'igawk'
when you do 'make install'. I have never used 'igawk' and so don't really
know what it does, but from the comments, it seems to implement an
"include file" mechanism for GAWK.
My question is, now that we have "@include" in the language, is there any
reason to keep promulgating 'igawk'? Is there something I am missing?

The randomly chosen signature file that would have appeared here is more than 4
lines long. As such, it violates one or more Usenet RFCs. In order to remain in
compliance with said RFCs, the actual sig can be found at the following web address:

It is obsolete and will be removed in the 4.2 release.

In article <fbe98015-8bbe-46c4...@googlegroups.com>,
OK. Sounds good.
