Unfortunately, this is exactly the type of programming that IBM was 
advocating when the System 38 first came out. I went back to Rochester for an 
IBM class and this is how they wanted us to program. No subroutines, repeat 
the code as often as necessary but keep it TOP DOWN. No subroutines - period. 
I came back from the class and told my boss that it was the biggest waste of 
time/money, even though IBM paid for the class!

Apparently and unfortunately, a lot of people believed that that was the way 
to program on the 38. After all, IBM said so. All because the 38 was dog slow 
when it first came out.
