Anyone know of example of some really big awk apps? The idea of plugging c extensions into gawk is both intriguing and slightly terrifying.

I have written gawk apps of over 10,000 lines. One was a text formatter, another was a simulator.
I also wrote a gawk program that generated a string over 300,000,000 characters long (yes - three hundred million). No problems (well, a few, but I handled them).
gawk ftw!!!
