[net.lang] f77 Query

rcj (01/11/83)

Anybody know of a way to convert an ascii string into the name of
a subroutine that can legally be used in a call statement in f77?

I am writing a simulator, and would like the user to specify his
name for a device; say rgbank for a register bank.  I would then
like to be able to call a user-supplied routine called rgbank
by translating the ascii string "rgbank" directly rather than
through some table lookup or other cumbersome piece of klugery.

Thanx in advance for any ideas,
