Author Using external functions in AWK

Hi all, I have abasic doubt. Is there any way to use external functions
(i.e. functions not defined in AWK), in AWK.

I have a shell script in which I'm using a small AWK snippet. In this
snippet I'm calling a function defined in the shell script. But the AWK
snippet is not working. I figured that this problem was due to the use
of external function in AWK.

Is there any way to solve this.

Please Help !

I believe TAWK supported this capability, though I never had the need
to try it. Unfortunately, TAWK is no longer available.
