43 * This module handles symbol table manipulation. All text strings
44 * needed by an application are allocated only once. All references
45 * to these text strings use handles returned from the put_symtab()
46 * routine. These handles can easily be converted to address independent
47 * values by invoking lookup_symtab(). So when writing structures to
48 * a file which contains text strings, this value can be written in stead
49 * of the text string or its address. This value can easily be converted
50 * back to a text string handle by get_symtab_handle().
