Hi, John here.  Have you (or your superiors) considered using Perl?
I used to be an awk fanatic (many of the tools I use to generate the
working YACC parser from the published grammar are awk scripts) but I've
become a convert.  Perl does everything awk does, plus everything sed does,
plus a whole raft more, and it's no harder to learn.  It's freely available,
runs on MS-DOS and Unix platforms (and others), etc. etc. etc.
There is even an "a2p" (awk to Perl) translator distributed with Perl.

Of course, if you have no influence over the decision, then awk will
still work. :-) :-)
