However, it appears the AWK he's using at Murray Hill is a lot fancier than the one that comes with 4.2BSD. Does the AWK that includes functions come with System V? Or do us mundanes (non-AT&Ters) just treat it as his private specification language until SYSTEM (++V) comes out? (Is Kernighan even supplying it to the packagers of commercial Un*x?)
