Another benefit of a C version of bro-cut is that we > will no longer depend on gawk for anything (and some of Bro's supported > platforms do not include gawk by default). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3-OD-08-005-WN#6328) _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
