164

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

165

166

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

167

168

* gawk.texi (igawk): Do not put temporary files in /tmp, as that

169

has some security problems. This fixes a problem originally

170

reported by Jarno Huuskonen via solar@openwall.com.

171

172

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

173

174

* Report missing operands of options; this fixes e.g. an

175

infinite loop with "igawk -W".

176

177

* Check for --source and -Wsource only, not -.source (which matches

178

errors). Similarly for other multichar options.

179

180

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

181

374

375

* Makefile.in (awkcard.tr): Use ':' chars to separate parts of

376

sed command, since $(srcdir) may expand to something with '/'

characters in it, which confuses sed terribly.

379

from "m68k-cbm-amigados" to "m68k-amigaos". Point ftp users
