1 11.2 Reinventing Wheels for Fun and Profit
1 ==========================================
1 
1 This minor node presents a number of POSIX utilities implemented in
1 'awk'.  Reinventing these programs in 'awk' is often enjoyable, because
1 the algorithms can be very clearly expressed, and the code is usually
1 very concise and simple.  This is true because 'awk' does so much for
1 you.
1 
1    It should be noted that these programs are not necessarily intended
1 to replace the installed versions on your system.  Nor may all of these
1 programs be fully compliant with the most recent POSIX standard.  This
1 is not a problem; their purpose is to illustrate 'awk' language
1 programming for "real-world" tasks.
1 
1    The programs are presented in alphabetical order.
