I have no idea what weird ass version of FORTRAN you used, but every

I used FORTRAN-E, FORTRAN-66, and TOPS-10. None of them had loop
structure commands.


That's not what CONTINUE did in FORTRAN - it was just a no-op for a
statement that needed a line number, like a DO loop target. And CONTINUE
was in FORTRAN I, as well as the FORTRAN-66 spec, so either you didn't
know your language very well, or the language you were using was lying
about being FORTRAN.


Not to mention that TOPS-10 was an operating system, not a programming
language.
