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.

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

375 * Makefile.in (awkcard.tr): Use ':' chars to separate parts of
376 sed command, since $(srcdir) may expand to something with '/'

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