The README says Copyright (C) Lucent Technologies 1997 it is for MAWK(the AWK Programming Language", the full text says: 

This is also said to compile on Macintosh OS 9 systems, using the
file "buildmac" provided by Dan Allen (danallen@microsoft.com),
to whom many thanks.

Dan Allen, author of the above-mentioned book, used to work at Apple back in the 1980s. Are we sure this is the same guy as mentioned in that README?
