I have to agree, those who flame your (or my) use of GOTOs should try to 
program on an 8088 or a 6502 based machine in assembly.  These programmers
know how nice GOTOs are (since often no nice alts exist).

Although I do not feel that GOTOs should be over used.  Since C (and PASCAL)
provide reasonable looping controls and if statements, the need for GOTOs
declines nicely.
