I do not think "goto" is the right way to do this nowadays. Even if your 
language supports goto statement (but in the case of Ada it was 
implemented to have programs/algorithms from other languages like 
FORTRAN easily ported).

Using case statements and loops should be the "better" way to do this. 
It should be easier to understand the program.
