Hmm, seems like someone should expand on this a little.

awkcc is a New Awk to C translator done in my center by
J. Christopher Ramming.  It is available from the AT&T Toolchest
(no, I don't know the price).

It should be fairly portable on UNIX boxes.  Don't know about other
OS'.  I know it's been used on BSD 4.3 [VAX and CCI Tahoe],
System V [3B2 and '386], SunOS [Sun 3 and Sun 4], and MIPS.
