Obviously something both of you know nothing about.

Define a "modern Unix" as you put it. You mean a UNIX with legacy
things like:
free access to source and other downloadables like a really excellent
C C++ fortran compiler, eco-friendly servers with 8 core CPUs, zones,
projects, roles, fault management,
firmware hypervision, brandz, zfs, dtrace, etc etc
Not that this has anything to DO with awk..

Ed provided a solution in POSIX compliant awk on Solaris. Thank you
