   That is NOT PET BASIC. Although PET BASIC does support computed 
GOTOs in the form
 
ON X GOTO 100,150,200,500
 
  it does NOT support labels. Whoever wrote the program was using a 
modified BASIC interpreter, no two ways about it. If he can't go back and re-
write the code to work without the extra features, he'll have to port the
modified interpreter to the 64.
 
   If he can't do the former, I venture to say he won't be able to do
the latter, either.
