Abstract
Conventional flowcharts are a hindrance to structured programming. An alternative notation, which emphasises the <u>nested</u> structure of programs, is proposed. The notation allows for only those <u>goto</u> s which are safe in a structured program. Unbelievers in Structured Programming are advised not to read this paper.
