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.
