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 |
