Hi - this may be a long shot...
TAWK - the absolutely wonderful awk variant/compiler from Thomson
Automation (sadly, defunct) is no longer available as a commercial
product - however it still works a treat even on 64-bit Windows 7
platform.
I am fairly proficient with awk (gawk, mainly), and would see a huge
amount of value in using tawk and its enhance features to it's full
extent. My problem is that I am unable to obtain a manual for tawk 5.0 >>>> which would unlock all the marvelous capabilities tawk holds.
If there is anyone, anywhere in the world who has a manual (hard or
scanned copy) available - I would really like to hear from you. I am
willing to pay a reasonable amount to obtain such...
Thanks and regards,

Hi-

thx
Do you need a copy of the manual?

s/amazing/horrifying/. We already have too many awk versiants, the last
thing we need is the corpse of one being resurrected. If you have time
to invest in improving "awk" in general then talk to the gawk guys to
see what you can do to help and improve gawk to include whatever
functionality you think gawk is missing that tawk provided.

Funny, but the persuasion is probably lost on me, as I still program with SNOBOL4 as well.... =]
Incidentally, and for what it is worth, I actually am not interested in
these new versions of TAWK that Paul, et al, are pushing. Nothing against
it or them, mind you, but the version I have works fine and I'm not interested in non-branded downloads (if you see what I mean...)
I'd love to see Pat T. himself come out of hiding and give it all his stamp of approval, but, of course, I'm not holding my breath...

The key difference between faith and science is that in science, evidence that
doesn't fit the theory tends to weaken the theory (that is, make it less likely to
be believed), whereas in faith, contrary evidence just makes faith stronger (on
the assumption that Satan is testing you - trying to make you abandon your faith).
The only stamp of approval you'll get from Pat is that he gave me
the TAWK code base. He knows that a friend and I are working on new
versions of TAWK. One reason you might want to use version 6.7 is that
it is much faster than the last version 5.
I received the TAWK code base from Pat Thompson roughly four years ago. A friend and I have been enhancing it and are now up to version 6.6. If you were a Thompson customer before Pat closed up shop, I can send you a copy of v6.6. It runs only onWindows.
