bourne shell query

[Fred Whiteside]

hi,

	I just wanted to say thanks to all those who responded to my
question about the bourne shell.  Almost everyone gently pointed out
that i was improperly quoting the (single) argument to awk and most
tried to help me with the efficiency of the code.  Again, thanks to
one and all, including:
