Re: missing awk.exe and gawk.exe in Cygwin download


Go to http://cygwin.com/packages/ and search for "bin/gawk".
In short, gawk is in a separate package, and you probably haven't
downloaded it.  If you direct the users to download cygwin, you may also
want to give them a list of packages they need for your applications.
