Define (typedef) a function pointer, and create an array of these.

For example (K&R) and assuming all functions return 'int':

typedef int (*PFI)();   /* pointer to function returning int */

PFI ftable[] = { foo, bar, ... };

and call with

   int result = (*ftable[i])();

For ANSI/ISO you'll need to prototype foo(), bar() etc. and adjust the 
typedef accordingly.
