That maybe a valid option; though, for sentimental reasons, if for no other, I still favour "traditional /* */ comments in C. And often in C++ too sometimes , since they don't break if you email your code and the mailer wraps... I guess, with modern syntax-aware editors, the chance of someone forgetting to close a C-style comment must be greatly diminished these days anyway! _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
