#163 awk.lnk (shortcut) is no of use. Replacement
An awk shortcut is created in \bin. I assume this is so
Gawk can be invoked trough both gawk and awk. Trouble
is that for this shortcut to work you have to use
awk.lnk, otherwise you just get an error message.
The following batch script will do the trick:
:: A replacement for the awk.lnk shortcut that only
works if you invoke it using "awk.lnk"
:: With this you can invoke Gawk through both gawk and
awk, not just gawk
@ ECHO OFF
gawk.exe %*
Save it as awk.bat (under 2k and XP awk.cmd will also
work) in \bin and you are all set.
I have only tested it with Win2k, but it should work
with all versions of Windows.
