That way is fine if you need longword jumps, but it takes up twice as much space as a short branch table if you can do the switch with short branches. With CAPE, you can build short branch tables without having to review the code generated, because it will tell you if any entry in the table has gone out of range. It's also possible to do something like you're doing but with a word-offset table rather than using full longword addresses, if everything is within +/- 32K bytes of a base address. …cheath
