well, actually, I don't want the zeroDotZero column, as it's generic SNMP
data, and not needed for anything.
The problem with using TIDs is that it forces you to parse every line for
the zeroDotZero text, and if I'm doing that, I don't really need TIDs, I can
just rebuild the string. I was hoping that there'd be a simpler way to do
that via awk, and that I was just missing something, but it appears I wasn't
missing something, at least in awk's case.
