In my days of 68000 programming, I used to make tables of sub-routine
addresses so I could jump to them using an index - a bit like the old
ON..GOSUB.. in BASIC.

I'm now using:

switch(f) {
    case 0:
        function0();
        break;
    case 1:
        function1();
        break;

    etc. etc.
}

which is not very efficient, especially if there are >20 functions.

Is there any way I can hold a table of pointers to the functions and
call them using an index?  If so, could someone give me an example of
the declarations required, and the call itself.

Thanx.
