2 suggestions for the gawk info (3.1.3)

[Neil Parks]

Suggestion #1:

In the pseudocode illustrating the use of "asorti" you wrote:

>      { source[$0] = some_func($0) }
> 
>      END {
>          n = asorti(source, dest)
>          for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
>              DO SOMETHING WITH dest[i]
> 
>      }
> 
> 

I would suggest changing the last line to:

  DO SOMETHING WITH source[dest[i]]

That would be the equivalent of the line

>   DO SOMETHING WITH data[ind[i]] 

in the non-asorti example.

When I originally sent suggestion #1 to the above address it bounced:

So please put in your current address.
