using awk or nawk on HP-UX 10.20

[Paola Martinez]

Somebody knows if exists nawk on HP-UX 10.20 or how it can be used?
If not, is there a way to increase de size code limit to use awk ?

I think I would download a binary distribution
of GNU's gawk from http://hpux.connect.org.uk.

I believe the HP-UX "awk" *is* "nawk", or is equivalent to it.
Therefore on HP-UX you can just use "awk" instead of "nawk".
I don't understand what you mean about code size, however.

Gregory is correct HP's awk is nawk but I assume that you want longer record lengths or more fields. Gawk has options for those things.

Thanks!

I'll try gawk.....
