You probably won't have nawk, but you'll have gawk - normally "awk" is hard/soft linked to gawk anyway....

which gawk
which awk
which nawk
etc... to see what you have in your path...

Cheers

In which case you can soft link awk to nawk. I do this for compatibility between my work and home systems. Just me be lazy more or less.
