The problem seems= =20 > to be I the awk code in diff-prs=85 I just committed a fix to CVS. Basically, /usr/bin/awk on Solaris is=20 ancient, so it doesn't support the sub command for substring=20 substitution, which is what happens on lines 24, 25 and 26 in the=20 diff-prs script. Solaris and other OSes with old awks usually have a=20 'nawk' command which is a more modern awk implementation. I have added the standard autoconf check for awk to the GNATS configure=20 setup. This basically checks for gawk, mawk, nawk, and awk, in that=20 order (gawk, GNU awk, is generally considered the best implementation),=20 and uses the best implementation available in the diff-prs script. Look at https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=3Dgnats for instructions on=20 checking out the CVS version of GNATS.
