[olug] Unix Tip: FILE CONSISTANCY CHECK

[Trent Melcher]

You have to remember these are Unix Tips, not Linux Tips.  Although most
tips will translate over exactly into linux, there are some that you need to
watch out for, ecspecially when it comes to the program names and options.
Most linux distributions use the GNU versions of utilities out there.  So
you might have to search for the apropriate prog.  As for nawk, look for awk
on your system, its probably linked to gawk.

I can't find nawk on the Mandrake-linux 8.2 version. Is this something
that is supposed to be readily available?
