* gawk.texi: Document that POSIX now says [a-z] is undefined outside
4
the C and POSIX locales, so gawk treats it as the Good Lord intended
5
in all cases. Thanks to Paul Eggert for letting me know about this
6
and providing URLs to cite.

* gawk.texi (Nextfile Function): Removed, along with all references,

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

758
759

760
errors). Similarly for other multichar options.

Mon Oct 11 16:53:54 1999 Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@skeeve.com>
899
900
* Makefile.in (gawk.dvi): Put $(srcdir) first in TEXINPUTS,
901
and also just use texi2dvi, don't run texindex and tex
902

910
911

912
$(INSTALL_DATA), since there's only one Info file to install,
913
install it directly.
914
915
Wed Jun 30 16:14:36 1999 Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@gnu.org>

932
933
* Makefile.in ($(infodir)/gawk.info): Don't make dependent upon
934
gawk.info, in case installed one is newer. Instead, check that
935
an installed gawk.info exists and is identical to current one.
936
If so, just exit; otherwise do the install.

955
Thu Jan 2 23:17:53 1997 Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
956
957
* Makefile.in (awkcard.tr): Use ':' chars to separate parts of
958
sed command, since $(srcdir) may expand to something with '/'
959
characters in it, which confuses sed terribly.
960
* gawk.texi (Amiga Installation): Note change of configuration
961
from "m68k-cbm-amigados" to "m68k-amigaos". Point ftp users
962

977
