Hi dbmsguy-

You might try using gawk. It has no arbitrary limits except the amount of memory available. Standard awk and even the later versions (nawk, mawk, etc.) have fixed limits on record size.

Do a search on the net for gawk. There are several sites that offer zipped executables. I think the latest is version 3.0.6, but there may be a later one by now.

dbmsguy-

You can ftp the file from this site:

It will be called gawk306x.zip or similar.

Launch the gnuish.htm for more info.
