It is certainly true that awk is less well-standardised in practice =20
than many other languages. All the awk scripts in the bundle of =20
scriptery that we're talking about runs fine with gawk, though, in =20
case that's useful to know.

(I tried hard to avoid GNU-specific extensions, incidentally, but =20
those aside gawk is more feature-complete than many other vendor-=20
supplied awks).

Not as annoying as accidentally sending a private reply intended for =20
just one person to a list of many, which is what invariably happens =20
if the list manager sets a reply-to header on outbound mail.
