       nlist - get entries from name list

Description
       The  subroutine	examines  the name list in the given executable output
       file and selectively extracts a list of values.	The name list consists
       of an array of structures containing names, types and values.  The list
       is terminated with a null name.	Each name is looked  up	 in  the  name
       list of the file.  If the name is found, the type and value of the name
       are inserted in the next two fields.  If the name is  not  found,  both
       entries are set to 0.  See for the structure declaration.

       This  subroutine	 is  useful for examining the system name list kept in
       the file In this way programs can obtain system addresses that  are  up
       to date.

Diagnostics
       All  type  entries are set to 0 if the file cannot be found or if it is
       not a valid name list.
