Re: Is this the Free-Format that we asked for?

Richard,

I'll repeat something that Jon also mentioned.

You can STILL use GOTO, just not in free format. Drop out of free format
and use GOTO. Then get back in free format, etc...


   /Free
    .
    .
    .
   /EndFree

C                   GoTo        WhereEver

C      SomePlace    Tag

   /Free
    .
    .
    .
   /EndFree

C      WhereEver    Tag

   /Free
    .
    .
    .
   /EndFree

C                   GoTo        SomePlace      

   /Free
    .
    .
    .
   /EndFree

I didn't include any semi-colon terminators because I didn't have the
time.  :)
