This Zip archive AwkSrc.zip (which can be opened with StuffIt or ZipIt) contains:

awk.exe - an executible tool for Win32 (Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP)
awk - an MPW PowerPC native tool for use with Mac OS 9 or Classic under Mac OS X
the full Kernighan sources (my changes can be seen by grepping for my initials of DKA) which build on Windows, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux, or Unix.
