A) No BASIC programmer uses goto anymore. First, GOSUB replaced it, but it
didn't allow local variables, so SUB replaced gosub, which functions exactly
like a C function.
B) Lack of sizeof IS BAD. It's why I switched, I needed to do a blockmove to
copy one record (primitive typedef) to another. Too bad, I couldn't figure
out how much memory to copy.
