Hello again,

OK for the absence of escapes. It's not a big deal.

And thank you for the authorization. I will surely follow your progress.


There is a typo in your goto.b decompilation, an AND operator is missing 
before testing for end of string, here is a patch:


diff --git a/examples/squoze_goto.b b/examples/squoze_goto.b
index bb39e66..8d48bb3 100644
--- a/examples/squoze_goto.b

+       while (ch!=' ' & ch!='*n' & ch!='*0') {
                 lchar(s, i++, ch);
                 ch = getchar();
         }
