+onetrueawk (port of original UNIX awk)
+
+This is the version of awk described in "The AWK Programming
+Language", by Al Aho, Brian Kernighan, and Peter Weinberger
+(Addison-Wesley, 1988, ISBN 0-201-07981-X). It is still maintained,
+and has received many bug fixes since the book was released. The code
+is released under a BSD-style license.
+
+The executable and man page are installed as "otawk", to avoid
+conflicting with Slackware's own gawk package. Also, otawk is
+installed to /opt/onetrueawk/bin/awk, so you can use it as the default
+awk by adjusting your user's $PATH (but it's not recommended to do
+this system-wide).
+
+If you want to run the test suite, export MAKETEST=yes in the
+environment. The test results will be saved to:
+/usr/doc/onetrueawk-$VERSION/maketest.log
