My worst BASIC experience was a binary tree filing system written in Microsoft Professional Basic by an engineer.

It's a standard sort of thing that sane languages handle with recursion.

To anyone who has coded them before..

Imagine it being done, with ANSI standard BASIC. Line numbers. GOTOs. GOSUBs. And the whole thing being done by someone who was an engineer/physicist by trade.

It made my head throb.
