Hey Gerrit!

 GK> My point would be that nothing should be flagged executable that
 GK> doesn't need to be executable.

Many would agree with you and in most cases with so's that would be perfectly
fine I would think.

 MK>> I've never used, nor ever seen, AT&T UNIX's awk.  How about you?

 GK> Nah, I'm not /that/ old. ;-)

I am.  However I never used AT&T UNIX so ...

 GK> However, FreeBSD comes with nawk.

Yes nawk!  I forgot about that one.

 GK> gawk just doesn't feature the proper license, I guess...

Maybe it's their "gawk is not your dad's awk" that offends all the geezers at
FreeBSD?

 GK> https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk

We could all do with less (none?) github methinks.

Life is good,
Maurice
