'goto" gone from computer languages or is it!

It's still present in quite a few languanges. It just doesn't have to be used. I know of people who use them in long C functions to avoid large "else" blocks when checking for early return from a function, especially when there is lots of cleanup to be done before returning. But if there's more than one goto destination in a function, there's probably a better way. But predominantly GOTO was used to make up for missing language features. (BASICs without else, languages with single statement or single line IF, languages without case or switch statements, languages without subroutines, languages without a "repeat forever"). If you're using a language that has all these features you probably don't need a goto. (Of course, the assembly for all of the above will contain jumps, conditional or otherwise.) COME FROM is more useful than goto anyway. :) Eric
