From Kaveh Ghazi:
* gawk.texi (grcat.c): Include stdlib.h.
(main): Fix format specifier warnings.
* gawk.texi (pwcat.c): Include config.h/stdlib.h.
(main): Fix format specifier warnings.
Tue Jun 11 23:08:04 2002 Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@skeeve.com>
* gawk.texi: Fix grcat code ifdef for HAVE_GETGRENT.
2002-05-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
[ ADR: Some minor post-patch editing was required. ]
* gawk.texi (igawk): Do not put temporary files in /tmp, as that
has some security problems. This fixes a problem originally
reported by Jarno Huuskonen via solar@openwall.com.
Fix the following problems with igawk while we're at it.
* Report missing operands of options; this fixes e.g. an
infinite loop with "igawk -W".
* Check for --source and -Wsource only, not -.source (which matches
errors). Similarly for other multichar options.
* Do not use 'echo', as that mishandles backslashes.
Mon May 13 01:25:40 2002 Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@skeeve.com>
* gawkinet.texi: Change `ifinfo' to `ifnottex' around
the Top node. Thanks to Eli Zaretskii.

manually. Doing so is no longer necessary.

of subscripting to avoid memory bloat.
Thu Jul 29 23:15:34 1999 Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@skeeve.com>

fails.
Thu Jan 2 23:17:53 1997 Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
* Makefile.in (awkcard.tr): Use ':' chars to separate parts of
sed command, since $(srcdir) may expand to something with '/'
characters in it, which confuses sed terribly.
* gawk.texi (Amiga Installation): Note change of configuration
from "m68k-cbm-amigados" to "m68k-amigaos". Point ftp users
towards current ADE distribution and not obsolete Aminet
"gcc" distribution. Change "FreshFish" to "Geek Gadgets".

Thu Jan 25 23:40:15 1996 Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@skeeve.atl.ga.us>

Depend on distclean, not the other way around.
