see Home page: http:awk.freeshell.org
These are the main four awks i depend on;
all run fine on my HP dm3 laptop:
dual-core AMD 1.6GHz cpu - 4GB ram -- windows 7 64bit Home Premium

All these awks are useful: the first is my daily user from Dr.K of awk.
the second is the latest version of above and is 64 bit.
(so can access much more memory but only runs on 64 bit windows)
gawk has Extensive extensions - and great debugging tools.
mawk is sometimes much faster than all the above.
