Running the Example Programs
============================
To run a given program, you would typically do something like this:
awk -f PROGRAM -- OPTIONS FILES
Here, PROGRAM is the name of the `awk' program (such as `cut.awk'),
OPTIONS are any command-line options for the program that start with a
`-', and FILES are the actual data files.
If your system supports the `#!' executable interpreter mechanism
(Note:Executable `awk' Programs.), you can instead
run your program directly:
cut.awk -c1-8 myfiles > results
If your `awk' is not `gawk', you may instead need to use this:
cut.awk -- -c1-8 myfiles > results
