Running a few simple AWK programs on my PIC32-Unix-Box for performance benchmarking purposes.

The PIC32 Unix Box, A matchbox sized UNIX computer

A comparison between a homemade Unix computer using a Microchip PIC32MZ microcontroller, and the original 1977 Digital Equipment Corporation VAX-11/780 minicomputer.

Trying to get pcc working on my tiny homemade PIC32MZ running 4.4BSD UNIX. This early C compiler originally written by Bell Labs in the mid 70s. But appears to be a bug in the linker, so I'll have to roll up my sleeves to sort this one out.

BSD 4.4 UNIX still running fine on a pic32mz. #grep command is not that slow either.
The project has even had a good word from @BrianKernighan

Have constructed a fully operating UNIX computer the size of a matchbox (you know those larger matchboxes). #LiteBSD, #unix, #pic32mz. More at http://i4cy.com/unix_pic32/
