Symtab version 0.1.1
====================

  Symtab reads a table of key/data pairs in a flat-text file
  and generates a symbol table in C.  This provides a
  function which takes a key value as argument and returns
  the corresponding data value.  If the given key is not in
  the symbol table, the function returns -1 or NULL
  depending on whether the data is composed of integers or
  strings respectively.

  Three symbol table mechanisms are provided: list, trie and
  hash.  Each are described at length along with their
  advantages and disadvantages in the perldoc. Note that
  the generated data structures are static, meaning it is
  not possible to insert and remove entries from the table
  after it has been generated.
