But,       frankly, I cannot tell since I "abstain" from (mostly don't       even think to) using 'goto'. So when I actually want to use       'goto' I have to look up the language-specific rules anyway.       (Just recently, using an "old language", I ran into a funny       error where there was a conflict with the location of jump       labels and the location of declarations; I needed a kludge       to get it compiled.)              Janis              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
