9 # This script requires several features of the Korn shell.
10 # If your host lacks the Korn shell,
11 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
13 # Bourne-Again shell (bash)
14 # <URL:ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/bash-1.14.7.tar.gz>
15 # (or any later version)
18 # <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca:/pub/pdksh/pdksh.tar.gz>
20 # This script also uses several features of modern awk programs.
21 # If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix.2,
22 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
25 # <URL:ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/gawk-3.0.0.tar.gz>
26 # (or any later version)
29 # <URL:ftp://oxy.edu/public/mawk1.2.2.tar.gz>
30 # (or any later version)
33 # Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
37 # Check for awk Posix compliance.
