gawk for Win 7



Ted,
I am a long time user of awk/gawk last few years under win XP and am now faced with the problem of loading it under Windows 7, don't seem to get much luck in searching for any help on the subject. Any pointer would be appriciated.

Why do you need a 64 bit version?

I am currently finishing up a rather large project that involves a number
of CGI scripts for the main system and several larger scripts that build
images and HTML files, all in 32 bit gawk under Windows 7.

The largest CGI script is used with a HTML page to gather mouse
coordinates of the nodes in the path from the 'Your are here' point to
each of 194 rooms and then create SVG images for the animated path
overlays to show how to get to the rooms (it is a touch screen building
directory built with gawk, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript). A batch file
invokes another gawk script to create the HTML files for each room and to
build the transient batch file to convert the SVG files to PNG and
composite them with the base floor plan images to generate the final
pages and images for each room.

Everything is 32 bit and works almost perfectly (a couple of images with
file names like 2MT2 and 3WT1 cause CMD to throw obscure errors, but I
was able to build those at home with slightly modified scripts under 64
bit Fedora 12). I wish they had allowed me to use Linux for the whole
project, but that is against policy.

Windows 7 64-Bit Awk?
Is there a version out there isomewhere that is 64-Bit and runs under
Windows 7 as 64-Bit?

I have done some Googling but without much luck. Is the only option
either MKS toolkit or Cygwin 64-Bit?
