14 # This script requires several features of the Korn shell.
15 # If your host lacks the Korn shell,
16 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
18 # <a href=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/>
19 # Bourne-Again shell (bash)
22 # <a href=ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/pdksh/pdksh.tar.gz>
26 # This script also uses several features of modern awk programs.
27 # If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix.2,
28 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
30 # <a href=ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/>
34 # <a href=ftp://ftp.whidbey.net/pub/brennan/>
39 # Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
