Goto's or If/End I bet were not the problem with that program.   It was
probably a bad logic implementation from start to finish.

Was it functionally cohesive?   Logic being done at the top level in
functional decision making routines and just "Worker Bee" type routines
below?  or was the business logic strewn throughout the program?

The only reason I ask is that we might be mistaking the "pointed finger for
the object"
 so to speak.
