I just tested it, our gosubs seem to work under -lang fb, subject to the rules for what you can't do in a gosub block. gosub.el also seems to still work for checking for gosub safety (under Windows at least). > > Either way, longjmp() is a well documented function in the Standard C > Library, so other than the compiler generating truly bizzare code > which somehow renders longjmp() ineffective, then it should still > work.
