i just ran awk from sources. it produces the same output as you produced for p9p awk. if you say that p9p awk is wrong, then plan 9 awk is wrong too since it produces the same output. here's what you had: ;9 awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}' 17.23 ;awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}' 17 and here's what the awk as distributed on sources does minooka; /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}' 17.23 yet here's what the awk done with bwk's current sources does minooka; awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}' 17 - erik
