Subject: gen-options.awk: Don't pass ERE to split().
X-Git-Url: https://git.draconx.ca/gitweb/dxcommon.git/commitdiff_plain/c2851601e2026f36593e985d302def59eba26c17

gen-options.awk: Don't pass ERE to split().

Strange behaviour is observed on ULTRIX 4.5 nawk when passing a
literal ERE as the fs argument to the split function.  There is
no problem passing an equivalent string instead.
