 B.3.1.1 Installing a Prepared Distribution for PC Systems
 .........................................................
 
 If you have received a binary distribution prepared by the MS-DOS
 maintainers, then `gawk' and the necessary support files appear under
 the `gnu' directory, with executables in `gnu/bin', libraries in
 `gnu/lib/awk', and manual pages under `gnu/man'.  This is designed for
 easy installation to a `/gnu' directory on your drive--however, the
 files can be installed anywhere provided `AWKPATH' is set properly.
 Regardless of the installation directory, the first line of `igawk.cmd'
 and `igawk.bat' (in `gnu/bin') may need to be edited.
 
    The binary distribution contains a separate file describing the
 contents. In particular, it may include more than one version of the
 `gawk' executable.
 
    OS/2 (32 bit, EMX) binary distributions are prepared for the `/usr'
 directory of your preferred drive. Set `UNIXROOT' to your installation
 drive (e.g., `e:') if you want to install `gawk' onto another drive
 than the hardcoded default `c:'. Executables appear in `/usr/bin',
 libraries under `/usr/share/awk', manual pages under `/usr/man',
 Texinfo documentation under `/usr/info', and NLS files under
 `/usr/share/locale'.  Note that the files can be installed anywhere
 provided `AWKPATH' is set properly.
 
    If you already have a file `/usr/info/dir' from another package _do
 not overwrite it!_ Instead enter the following commands at your prompt
 (replace `x:' by your installation drive):
 
      install-info --info-dir=x:/usr/info x:/usr/info/gawk.info
      install-info --info-dir=x:/usr/info x:/usr/info/gawkinet.info
 
    The binary distribution may contain a separate file containing
 additional or more detailed installation instructions.
 
    As of April, 2012, up to date `gawk' binaries for MS Windows are
 available from Eli Zaretskii's ports project
 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/).
