-Version 1.3 implements a new internal design for arrays:
+mawk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming Language. The AWK language is
+useful for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and processing, and for
+prototyping and experimenting with algorithms. mawk is a new awk meaning it
+implements the AWK language as defined in Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger, The
+AWK Programming Language, Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1988 (hereafter referred
+to as the AWK book.) mawk conforms to the Posix 1003.2 (draft 11.3) definition
+of the AWK language which contains a few features not described in the AWK
+book, and mawk provides a small number of extensions.
-Extensive redesign of array data structures to support large arrays and
-fast access to arrays created with split. Many of the ideas in the
-new design were inspired by reading "The Design and Implementation of
-Dynamic Hashing Sets and Tables in Icon" by William Griswold and
-Gregg Townsend, SPE 23,351-367.
