For SGI IRIX 3.3 does anyone have routines that will allow
me to link in routines on the fly?
I want to use them to find the address of a function from its
character string representation (its label).

I believe the ldfcp() and similar functions allow
access to the symbol table, in a machine-independent manner (via unix)
but I don't have the faintest idea of how to go about finding out how to use these commands.
If anyone has tried this before, or used these routines, maybe they could
let me have some info on them.
