idl and pv-wave have a goto procedure, that functions identical to the
fortran equivalent.

My version of IDL (3.10) does have GOTO statements and line labels. It
also has IF...THEN...ELSE structures. You can always make procedure
calls to error handling code as well.

I too have struggled through old F77 (or even F66) code, and after a
period of digestion (or indigestion ;) ) I usualy find that a
reformulation of the algorithm or code structure can really clean it up
a lot. It does make it more of a job to translate, but makes for much
more readable and maintainable code in the future.
