2002-05-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	[ ADR: Some minor post-patch editing was required. ]

	* gawk.texi (igawk): Do not put temporary files in /tmp, as that
	has some security problems.  This fixes a problem originally
	reported by Jarno Huuskonen via solar@openwall.com.

	Fix the following problems with igawk while we're at it.

	* Report missing operands of options; this fixes e.g. an
	  infinite loop with "igawk -W".

	* Check for --source and -Wsource only, not -.source (which matches
	  errors).  Similarly for other multichar options.

	* Do not use 'echo', as that mishandles backslashes.

Mon May 13 01:25:40 2002  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@skeeve.com>

	  indexing changes integrated.  Index reviewed and
	  cleaned up.
	* gawkinet.texi: Ditto.
	* awkcard.in: Redid page breaking.
	* Makefile.am (clean): Add `awkcard.tr' to list of files
	that are removed.
	(distclean): Depend on clean to REALLY GET `awkcard.tr'.
	Sheesh.

2002-02-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	no longer allows it.  Use sort -k instead.

2002-01-27  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

	* gawk.texi: Document the dcngettext function.

Mon Sep  3 18:30:13 2001  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@skeeve.com>

	* gawk.texi (Top): Put in @ifnottex so that makeinfo
	  --html is now happy.

Sun Jun  3 13:04:44 2001  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@skeeve.com>

Tue Nov 10 11:42:26 1998  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@gnu.org>

	* publisher.texi: new file with publisher related info.
	* Makefile.in: updated dvi and postscript targets to make

Wed Nov  3 17:04:35 1999  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@skeeve.com>

	* gawk.1: Lots of troff ``lint'' from Paul Eggert.  Not all
	  of his changes, just the ones I thought worth doing.

Mon Oct 11 16:53:54 1999  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@skeeve.com>

	* Makefile.in (gawk.dvi): Put $(srcdir) first in TEXINPUTS,
	  and also just use texi2dvi, don't run texindex and tex

Fri Jul  4 08:19:00 1997  Arnold D. Robbins  <arnold@gnu.org>

	* Makefile.in ($(infodir)/gawk.info): Don't make dependent upon
	  gawk.info, in case installed one is newer. Instead, check that
	  an installed gawk.info exists and is identical to current one.
	  If so, just exit; otherwise do the install.

	  fails.

Thu Jan  2 23:17:53 1997  Fred Fish  <fnf@ninemoons.com>

	* Makefile.in (awkcard.tr): Use ':' chars to separate parts of
	  sed command, since $(srcdir) may expand to something with '/'
	  characters in it, which confuses sed terribly.
