9#
10# When I run the following AWK file...
11#
12BEGIN {
13    $0 = "00E0";
14    print $0 ", " ($0 && 1) ", " ($0 != "");
15    $1 = "00E0";
16    print $1 ", " ($1 && 1) ", " ($1 != "");
17}
18#
19# With the SimTel version of GAWK 3.1.1 for Windows (downloadable from
20# ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/), I get the following
21# output...
22#
23# 00E0, 0, 1
24# 00E0, 1, 1
25#
26# With the Cygwin version of GAWK 3.1.1 for Windows, I get...
27#
28# 00E0, 1, 1
29# 00E0, 1, 1
30#
31# As far as I know, if "$0" isn't blank, the value of "($0 && 1)" should be
32# "1" (true). I get the same problem if I substitute "00E0" with "00E1" to
33# "00E9". Other strings don't have have this problem (for example, "00EA").
34# The problem occurs whether I use file input or whether I manually assign
35# "$0" (as above).
36#
37# The problem is also discussed in a comp.lang.awk posting ("Bug in GAWK
38# 3.1.1?", Dec. 27, 2002).
