I need a C routine which can retrieve the function pointer of a routine
in the executable from the string name of that function.  (Preferably
something smaller that the complete source code to dbx. :-))  

Barring that, a reference which describes the format of the symbol table 
in a executable compiled under the -g flag would be a great help.
