OK. How's the attached?

This is a head-scratcher. I can't find any reference to such a function,
except for this in doc/ChangeLog.0:
Wed Nov 22 14:57:59 2000 Arnold D. Robbins <address@hidden>
* gawk.texi, gawk.1, awkcard.in: Removed all documentation
of abort.
Perhaps I'm delirious because I have the flu at the moment, but are you sure
there is already an abort() function? The only thing that seems to come close
is assert.awk...
