Next: VMS Installation, Up: Non-Unix Installation [Contents][Index]
This section covers installation and usage of gawk
on Intel architecture machines
running MS-DOS, any version of MS-Windows, or OS/2.
In this section, the term “Windows32”
refers to any of Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8.
The limitations of MS-DOS (and MS-DOS shells under the other operating
systems) have meant that various “DOS extenders” are often used with
programs such as gawk. The varying capabilities of Microsoft
Windows 3.1 and Windows32 can add to the confusion. For an overview
of the considerations, refer to README_d/README.pc in
the distribution.
