> MAWK version 1.3.4-20240622 for DOS built with DJGPP.

I rebuilt the old 16-bit DOS version 1.2.2 (circa 1996) with TC++ in 2020 (thus no longer bound DOS+OS/2, thus now UPX compressible). Yes, this was faster, more compatible, and had more free memory than other 16-bit AWKs.

Re: newer versions, for a while I was double-checking scripts with a modern 32-bit MinGW build under HX.
