  This file lists all bug fixes, changes, etc., made since the AWK book
  was sent to the printers in August, 1987.
+ Jun 20, 1999:
+         added *bp in gettok in lex.c; appears possible to exit function
+         without terminating the string.  thanks to russ cox.
+ Jun 2, 1999:
+         added function stdinit() to run to initialize files[] array,
+         in case stdin, etc., are not constants; some compilers care.
+ May 10, 1999:
+         replaced the ERROR ... FATAL, etc., macros with functions
+         based on vprintf, to avoid problems caused by overrunning
+         fixed-size errbuf array.  thanks to ralph corderoy for the
+         impetus, and for pointing out a string termination bug in
+         qstring as well.
+ Apr 21, 1999:
+         fixed bug that caused occasional core dumps with commandline
+         variable with value ending in \.  (thanks to nelson beebe for
+         the test case.)
  Apr 16, 1999:
          with code kindly provided by Bruce Lilly, awk now parses
          /=/ and similar constructs more sensibly in more places.

          is unlikely to fix it.
  Mar 5, 1999:
-         after hearing from yet another innocent victim, changed
+         changed isnumber to is_number to avoid the problem caused by
-         isnumber to is_number to avoid the problem caused by
+         versions of ctype.h that include the name isnumber.
-         freeBSD gratuitously and incorrectly including the name
-         isnumber in the standard header file ctype.h.
          distribution now includes a script for building on a Mac,
          thanks to Dan Allen.
