awk95.exe - is it freely distributable?

Hello -

We want to distribute awk95.exe with our application.  It will be called
from an Excel application to process a text file before importing it.

Are we free to do this?

If not, what acknowledgements, payments, etc., must we make, and to whom?

Thanks for any information.

Larry Mehl

The copyright notice in the source code to the one, true awk give permission
to use, copy, modify, and distribute for any purpose and without fee.

You need to repeat the copyright notice in your documentation, so far
as I can tell. Your best bet is to download the source code from

http://cm.bell-labs.com//cm/cs/awkbook

and look at the README file.
