It looks like it was cribbed from a language using based 1 arrays, and with "goto" as the only control statement and variable-names imported from 1966-era BASIC. The formating and indention are horrible; you posted it with strings broken across line-breaks. Using C99 or C++ style comments is a terrible idea for posted code, since comments frequently are broken by the posting or receiving software. It is an even worse idea when used to comment out code. Trying writing this in a readable form. Drop the idea of based-1 arrays, which will only confused. When you have this code in something close to idiomatic C, try reposting.
