While writing the BBS I'm currently working on, I overcame one of my major
obstacles in writing large programs in BASIC09 - that is, the 64k barrier. Bill
Brady helped me understand how to overcome that. And, since I have, my BBS has
really taken off.  I can do so much more with it that the one I wrote in
RS-DOS. About the only time I ever use line numbers is ON-GOTO (I like C's
switch command) and when I need something to jump to another point in the
program and don't want to try and figure out how to loop it correctly.  And, of
course, for a BBS, I use GOSUBs for I/O.
