I have make an awk file named "tool.awk".  But I want to use its name 
"tool" rather than having to call awk directly.

Originally I had a shebang, namely "#!/bin/awk -f" in the file "tool.awk".

I have removed the awk shebang from the file and added a bash function

tool ()
{  
  local epath="${HOME}/Opstk/bin//opcon"
  awk -f "${epath}"/tool.awk "${@:--}"
}
