It proves that the user interface of gawk is more friendly, nothing more. And users that do not know the difference between mawk and gawk are not necessarily looking for performance, but may prefer a software with a user friendly interface. While users that do know the difference between mawk and gawk will surely pick mawk, if they want mawk, from the start. -- Mathieu Roy Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org Not a native english speaker: http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english
