I recently paid $100 for a 500C w/PS and desk mic.  Currently there is one in Salem for about that price and one near San Diego for $125 (no PS).  Bad thing - sweep tubes are getting expensive; good thing - its old and doesn't have WARC bands and all the tech advances of the last 40 years.

Marc,

Yes, your solution was GNU sed, but works quite well with other flavors.  My comment was simply that the two GNU utilities replicate the sed and awk behavior one expects after reading the man pages. I've run into show stopping misbevior with cygwin's versions in the past.

On a different note, I always recommend creating a new director, c:\usr\bin to put these utilities in.  Add the directory to the path satement and you never have to worry about where they are when it comes time to update.  

you can also look specifically at freshmeat.net and sorceforge.net for text editors tht limit the search by OS (Windows).  These are opensource and typically free use.

What? No elegant awk solutions:-)

TS.c compiles and runs with gcc and Visual Studio 6 on Windows XP and 2000.  Picky, but if you use isalnum(), it improves readability of the 'if' considerably.

Not to be too picky, but perl seems like overkill unless you were going to use perl2exe to create a standalone exe.  There is also a visual version of VIM (gvim) for Win32 that would permit the REs to be run from a windowish environment, I believe it will also run a command file from the prompt just like sed.

Given the option, GNU sed and gawk seem to provide closer to unix responses than cygwin.                

I've used gcc for a number of years.  Several free widget libraries  are available and, a big plus if you get bored easily - there are a half dozen other language addins available.

Clubs need sponsers.  If no one on staff is licensed, you might consider cozying up to one or more of the Science teachers and volunteer your services.

Probably not too thin skinned for the conditins:-)  I remember Ft Riley in December 1968 - cold and miserable.  May the new year bring hapiness to you and yours.

No guarantees with this (I don't use the product - ymmv).  Based on a cursory reading of the docs, all data is obtained from websites using http so all you should need to open is port 80.
