But, as an artist once said, describing his style: "You've got to know the rules to know when to break them". Having single exit-points is a good guideline, but it shouldn't be enforced. Same goes for using goto's, making macros containing specific variable names etc - sometimes it just *is* the best solution, also aesthetically.% Richard % no, I've never used a goto in C :^) -- /Richard Flamsholt richard@iesd.auc.dk
