Greetings, fellow DJGPP users!

    I'm making a little CD player using the BCD library.  It accepts command
line arguments, and I have this monstrous if-else loop that figures out what
argument the user typed:
    if(strcmp(argv[1],"play")==0)

        bcd_play_track(atoi(argv[2]));

    else if(strcmp(argv[1],"stop")==0)

        bcd_stop();

    else if(strcmp(argv[1],"resume")==0)

        bcd_resume();

etc., etc., ad nauseum.  My question:  is there a better way to do this
kinda thing?
