I've not used a goto since I stopped writing in FORTRAN in 1978, and not missed it [1]. Neither do I ever have deeply nested if-then-else - these are a good source of bugs. I suppose the rest of your article might have been dealing with simplifying val_nested() but TBH I wasn't interested enough to find out. [1] Not quite true - a Pascal compiler I once had to use in 1983 lacked a return statement, so I had to fake it by putting a 999: label at the end of the function and goto-ing to that. -- Cheers -- Tim
