 B.1.3 Contents of the `gawk' Distribution
 -----------------------------------------
 
 The `gawk' distribution has a number of C source files, documentation
 files, subdirectories, and files related to the configuration process
 ( Unix Installation), as well as several subdirectories related
 to different non-Unix operating systems:
 
 Various `.c', `.y', and `.h' files
      The actual `gawk' source code.
 
 `README'
 `README_d/README.*'
      Descriptive files: `README' for `gawk' under Unix and the rest for
      the various hardware and software combinations.
 
 `INSTALL'
      A file providing an overview of the configuration and installation
      process.
 
 `ChangeLog'
      A detailed list of source code changes as bugs are fixed or
      improvements made.
 
 `ChangeLog.0'
      An older list of source code changes.
 
 `NEWS'
      A list of changes to `gawk' since the last release or patch.
 
 `NEWS.0'
      An older list of changes to `gawk'.
 
 `COPYING'
      The GNU General Public License.
 
 `FUTURES'
      A brief list of features and changes being contemplated for future
      releases, with some indication of the time frame for the feature,
      based on its difficulty.
 
 `LIMITATIONS'
      A list of those factors that limit `gawk''s performance.  Most of
      these depend on the hardware or operating system software and are
      not limits in `gawk' itself.
 
 `POSIX.STD'
      A description of behaviors in the POSIX standard for `awk' which
      are left undefined, or where `gawk' may not comply fully, as well
      as a list of things that the POSIX standard should describe but
      does not.
 
 `doc/awkforai.txt'
      Pointers to the original draft of a short article describing why
      `gawk' is a good language for Artificial Intelligence (AI)
      programming.
 
 `doc/bc_notes'
      A brief description of `gawk''s "byte code" internals.
 
 `doc/README.card'
 `doc/ad.block'
 `doc/awkcard.in'
 `doc/cardfonts'
 `doc/colors'
 `doc/macros'
 `doc/no.colors'
 `doc/setter.outline'
      The `troff' source for a five-color `awk' reference card.  A
      modern version of `troff' such as GNU `troff' (`groff') is needed
      to produce the color version. See the file `README.card' for
      instructions if you have an older `troff'.
 
 `doc/gawk.1'
      The `troff' source for a manual page describing `gawk'.  This is
      distributed for the convenience of Unix users.
 
 `doc/gawk.texi'
      The Texinfo source file for this Info file.  It should be
      processed with TeX (via `texi2dvi' or `texi2pdf') to produce a
      printed document, and with `makeinfo' to produce an Info or HTML
      file.
 
 `doc/gawk.info'
      The generated Info file for this Info file.
 
 `doc/gawkinet.texi'
      The Texinfo source file for  (General Introduction)Top
      gawkinet, TCP/IP Internetworking with `gawk'.  It should be
      processed with TeX (via `texi2dvi' or `texi2pdf') to produce a
      printed document and with `makeinfo' to produce an Info or HTML
      file.
 
 `doc/gawkinet.info'
      The generated Info file for `TCP/IP Internetworking with `gawk''.
 
 `doc/igawk.1'
      The `troff' source for a manual page describing the `igawk'
      program presented in  Igawk Program.
 
 `doc/Makefile.in'
      The input file used during the configuration process to generate
      the actual `Makefile' for creating the documentation.
 
 `Makefile.am'
 `*/Makefile.am'
      Files used by the GNU `automake' software for generating the
      `Makefile.in' files used by `autoconf' and `configure'.
 
 `Makefile.in'
 `aclocal.m4'
 `configh.in'
 `configure.ac'
 `configure'
 `custom.h'
 `missing_d/*'
 `m4/*'
      These files and subdirectories are used when configuring `gawk'
      for various Unix systems.  They are explained in  Unix
      Installation.
 
 `po/*'
      The `po' library contains message translations.
 
 `awklib/extract.awk'
 `awklib/Makefile.am'
 `awklib/Makefile.in'
 `awklib/eg/*'
      The `awklib' directory contains a copy of `extract.awk' (
      Extract Program), which can be used to extract the sample
      programs from the Texinfo source file for this Info file. It also
      contains a `Makefile.in' file, which `configure' uses to generate
      a `Makefile'.  `Makefile.am' is used by GNU Automake to create
      `Makefile.in'.  The library functions from  Library
      Functions, and the `igawk' program from  Igawk Program,
      are included as ready-to-use files in the `gawk' distribution.
      They are installed as part of the installation process.  The rest
      of the programs in this Info file are available in appropriate
      subdirectories of `awklib/eg'.
 
 `posix/*'
      Files needed for building `gawk' on POSIX-compliant systems.
 
 `pc/*'
      Files needed for building `gawk' under MS-Windows and OS/2 (
      PC Installation, for details).
 
 `vms/*'
      Files needed for building `gawk' under VMS ( VMS
      Installation, for details).
 
 `test/*'
      A test suite for `gawk'.  You can use `make check' from the
      top-level `gawk' directory to run your version of `gawk' against
      the test suite.  If `gawk' successfully passes `make check', then
      you can be confident of a successful port.
