I think that programming for the PIC and programming for a large general purpose computer are different enough to warrant different rules. As someone mentioned before, the stack limit could be reason to justify a goto. I have a program that I am planning on migrating to a 2-deep stack PIC, and I can assure you that I use gotos without feeling bad about it. So, if they are trying to apply a general rule to a "special" (i.e. pic == special) case, maybe they could reconsider. -Steve -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
