+This is the Beta-test distribution of gawk.  (Probably around version 1.01
+or so.)
+
+Please send all
+bug-reports, comments, cries for help, etc, to hack@prep.ai.mit.edu
+AKA mit-eddie!prep!hack  During odd hours I can sometimes be reached at
+(617) 253-8975, which is an MIT phone in the middle of the corridor, so don't
+be suprised if someone wierd answers, or if the person on the other end has
+never heard of me.  (Direct them to the microvax about 10feet to their left.)
+
+Gawk requires some berkeleyisms, like alloca(), bcopy(), index(), etc.  I
+believe we have a portable version of alloca() (part of GNUemacs), and
+probably the other stuff as well.  Send me mail if you need anything.
+
+For real speed, you should change the Makefile to compile -O -DFAST and
+disable the debugger.  (-DFAST replaces some function calls with macros, and
+disables a lot of debugging stuff.)
+
+If you don't have bison, modify the makefile to call yacc instead
+(The proper commands should be already in the makefile; just un-comment them.)
+If you have neither bison nor yacc, use the awk.tab.c file here.  It was
+generated with bison, and should have no AT+T code in it.  (Note that
+modifying awk.y without bison or yacc will be difficult, at best.  You might
+want to get a copy of bison from us too.)
