-This applet is a test program for JNI binding to the <a href='http://kldp.net/projects/ase/'>ASE</a> AWK interpreter. The AWK language supported is slightly different from the standard in that all statements must end with a semicolon. You may enter a valid AWK program into the source input window and click on the <b>Run Awk</b> button. You may enter arbitrary text into the console input window if the AWK program entered contains an action-pattern block.

 <b>Note</b>: This java applet has been signed with a self-signed certificate. If you allow the program to run, it will download a JNI file into your home directory. Currently, it supports Linux(i386) and Microsoft Windows(x86). If you decide to clean your system later, don't forget to delete the local JNI file downloaded.
