I am a newbie to ada and I am looking for an example of an
array of functions. The project I am currently working on
has a procedure which is a gaint case statement with nested
cases that make function calls. This procedure is
unreadable and could easily be reduced by 99% by using a
multidimensional array containing pointers to functions.

I know how to create an array of pointers to functions in C
and I was wondering if this is even possible in ada 83 or
95. If it is possible, do all the functions in the array
have to be formatted the same (i.e same pass and return
parameters)? Any help and/or examples would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
