It seems I've run into the 32-bit signed number wall in awk (5.2-RELEASE). My totals are maxing out at 2147483648. Would anyone happen to know whether that's really the case (that awk is only implemented with 32-bit number capability - unfortunately I don't have any other awks nearby to verify nor can I find any reference info that indicates) and/or can suggest a way around it? Thanks, Wayne
