Dont go spreading that information around!!! I use goto statements whenever I have to write a state-based abstraction. This is usually the case for Ada tasks, which are typically written so that you jump among a few states. You wouldn't believe the obtuse lengths to which programmers go, in order to avoid spelling goto G-O-T-O. -- Those who believe in the supernatural should be required to learn computer programming. This would force them to discover that things which appear at first to be completely mysterious and incomprehensible, in fact have a logical (and usually simple) explanation. --J.B.R. Yant
