9atom's awk has been updated with bwk's recent source.  it also has a fix for the problem
sometimes seen with plan 9 installs where a score looks enough like floating point that
awk tries to treat it as such and gets a fp exception in the process.

i would consider adding pure extensions, such as %C, or the ability to deal with hex.
