Yes and no. It has true multi-dimensional arrays, but does not have the
gawk extensions to plain awk.  I no longer use TAWK because gawk better
suits my text processing needs.

For GUI user interfaces, I use Apache and Firefox with gawk doing the CGI
processes.  Also with some PHP mixed in.  I no longer use WinBatch either
- I have compiler licenses for both TAWK and WinBatch, but they just sit
there unused.  The text mode interface in the window running gawk is
adequate for most purposes.  The main exception is file selection via a
windows file selection dialog box - for this I use a free utility from
Frank Westlake (<http://www.geocities.com/fp.westlake/nt/>)
called
ConGetFile with this syntax

  "congetfile.exe\" | getline string
