language utility (ie the executable file named 'gawk')
on your server? How did you find it?

How do you know?
- If so, is either of these a symbolic link? Where
is the "real" copy located?

Project Submission
In order to submit your project, you will need to be able
to copy the command results from your telnet session. You
can either copy the entire session or just the relevent parts.

information requested, to unix@iteachu.com
by the deadline date in the schedule.
