Installing a Prepared Distribution for PC Systems
.................................................
If you have received a binary distribution prepared by the DOS
maintainers, then `gawk' and the necessary support files appear under
the `gnu' directory, with executables in `gnu/bin', libraries in
`gnu/lib/awk', and manual pages under `gnu/man'. This is designed for
easy installation to a `/gnu' directory on your drive--however, the
files can be installed anywhere provided `AWKPATH' is set properly.
Regardless of the installation directory, the first line of `igawk.cmd'
and `igawk.bat' (in `gnu/bin') may need to be edited.
The binary distribution contains a separate file describing the
contents. In particular, it may include more than one version of the
`gawk' executable. OS/2 binary distributions may have a different
arrangement, but installation is similar.
