Well, GAWK (*) has both of these, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
As I've mentioned a zillion times, there's really no reason to use any
other flavor of AWK (besides GAWK or TAWK).
(*) And, TAWK, too. At least the bit-twiddling stuff. Not sure about the
-E - since I've never used it.
Note: I just now read the latest "man gawk" to see what "-E" is. I have to
admit, I don't get it. FWIW, when I first read this thread, I assumed -E
was some variation of invoking "lint" (sorta like "strict" in that other
scripting language - the one that rhymes with Earl).
