12 # This script requires several features of the Korn shell.
13 # If your host lacks the Korn shell,
14 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
16 # <a href=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/>
17 # Bourne-Again shell (bash)
20 # <a href=ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/pdksh/pdksh.tar.gz>
24 # This script also uses several features of modern awk programs.
25 # If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix.2,
26 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
28 # <a href=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/>
32 # <a href=ftp://ftp.whidbey.net/pub/brennan/>
