I would really like to be able to setup a list of character strings that represent  
classes, and at run time be able to create an instance of the class from the class name.

An example:

classList[] = {
"Class1",
"Class2"};

then at run time do some type of alloc & init from the class name. ie:

newClass = [[classList[0] alloc] init]

Any ideas?

Chris
