    ... which is allegedly
    part of the gawk distribution. Can someone tell me where in the gawk
    distribution ? And if it is no longer part of the distribution, can someone
    tell me where one finds this program ?

If you think you have found a discrepancy between the documentation of
a program and the source code supplied, that is a BUG.  Please don't
ask all the users whether it IS a bug.  Just send a bug report.

I can appreciate that you might not wish to sound presumptuous by
assuming the problem is the maintainers' fault.  However, our egos can
survive a little presumption.  The important thing is that all the
users should not have to plow through bug reports in the guise of "is
this a bug" or "can you tell me how to fix this" questions.

Please report problems in GAWK or other miscellaneous GNU programs 
in bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
