Yeah, it should be "30 GO TO 20" and, you really need some sort of output
statement, display or print otherwise it just sits there and appears to do
nothing! And, at some points it would be nice to add a test to allow the loop
to stop so the operator doesn't have to abend the CRAY machine ... hahahahahaha
