>Can anybody point me at algorithms for removing GOTOs from programs?


The following might help:


"Flow Diagrams, Turing Machines and Languages with Only Two Formation
Rules.", C. Bohm and G. Jacopini, Communications of the ACM, Vol 9, No. 5
(May 1966)


"The Translation of 'go to' Programs to 'while' Programs.", E. Ashcroft
and Z. Manna, Proceedings of the 1971 IFIP conference, Vol I (Amsterdam,
The Netherlands, North-Holland Publishing Co., 1972)


Both papers reprinted in "Classics in Software Engineering", Yourdon Press
(1979)
