In my 16F628 program I call a subroutine that waits for an event to happen.
If the event does not happen within a certain length of time can I use a
goto instruction to restart the program from a known point, without using a
return instruction to pop the return address back off the stack ?
I know this will cause a stack underflow(?) condition, but since the stack
is a circular buffer surely it won't matter because subsequent calls will
have the required return to go with them - or will it ?

Start:
     call initialize
StartEnd:
     call setup
Mainloop:
     call Subroutine
     call sub2
     goto Mainloop

Subroutine:
     clrf counter
SubLoop:
     btfss Input1
     retlw 0x00
     btfss Input2
     retlw 0x01
     decfsz counter,f
     goto SubLoop
     goto StartEnd             ;timeout so restart again

Thanks,

James
