Summary: What functions? We have added all from -lm!


I don't read CACM, what functions are you talking about? We have added
all the siingle argument math functions from libm.a to awk. We also use
awk on double precision data and found it necessary to modify awk so that
it would never convert the double to single during handling. Our version
came with getline and exit, are these the functions you are talking about?
