- You probably have an older version of awk than the one documented in the 
book " The Awk Programming Language" by A. W. & K. . The one in the book
doesn't come with most unix systems. You have to buy it from ATT. They
also have a nifty tool I wish we could get which takes awk programs and 
writes c code. 

I haven't found a way to get older awk to read more than one file. Mostly
I get around this by using multiple awk programs that pipe output into 
each other.
