I've been using Emacs for quite a while (v. 18.57.34) and recently
switched over to Epoch (v. 3.2.6).  Just recently I noticed that
in c-mode, Epoch does not indent identifiers for gotos the way that
Emacs did.  Particularly, Emacs used to indent identifiers slightly to the 
left of the code, which I liked, and Epoch doesn't.  For instance: 

In Emacs:
--------
   goto exit;
   ...
 exit:
   return(rc);

In Epoch:
--------
   goto exit;
   ...
   exit:
   return(rc);

Has anyone else noticed this, and can you suggest a way to get the 
Emacs-like behavior?  Please no flames over using goto's in C, we all 
have our quirks :-).

Try putting the following line in your .emacs or .epoch or whatever init
file you have.
  
(modify-syntax-entry ?: "." c-mode-syntax-table)

I like it for 'case' statements, so don't be embarrassed!
