I like to code loops in the following way:

    for (;;)
    {
         if (condition)
         {
              // do something
         }
         else break;
    }

Works fine for me: the loop has one exit point and there are no 
superfluous "OK"-variables to track.

For instance, when you scan a textfile:

    for (;;)
    {
        fgets (,, f);
        if (! feof (f))
        {
             ...
        }
        else break;
    }
