  I have uploaded mawk113bin.tpz to tsx-11. Mawk is another AWK
interpreter, who's claim to fame is speed. I posted some benchmarks to
alt.lang.awk last month, and it seems 1.5-5x faster than the awk in SLS.
It's also faster than perl for everything I tried, but all programs were
awk programs converted with a2p, so I don't know about the quality of
the code.

  I will upload the source when I get a chance.
