Actualy you continue to miss the point. My posts havn't been about wether goto is good or bad, or right or wrong in your case. My posts have been about your attitude. We don't know all of your criteria and you didn't give them to us. Instead you asked a question that was easily answered by google and then continue to complain about the responses. I still fail to see how re-writing 3rd party code to include gotos is any less difficult than other options but agian that is your choice and your issue.

Sorry if this offends your sensibilities but life sucks what can I say!?

That is not what offends me. Your tone and responces however do.

One final English lesson - "preference" implies choice - in this case I have none as re-writing the 3rd party code is NOT an option.

If you are going to teach me english then please at least read the context where the word was used. I was refering to the people who replied to you and there preference not to use goto.
