I would do a check whether a gawk is available and if not
check for mawk, than for nawk and if those do not exist, check whether normal
awk can eat the awk file with a small sample.

I just checked whether it does work with solaris awk and it does not
(looks like this old and shitty thing doesnt support functions)
And nawk cant delete whole arrays. This should fix it.

next thing is: not all ls are as bright as gnu ls:
(on a solaris 8 box):

--time=ctime is not legal on a non-gnu ls.
I couldnt find out how to acces ctime on a solaris ls.
I even couldnt find out on my netbsd box :-(
Can someone help ?
