My code, my response: While i do vaguely see the benefit of being able to strip all newline characters, I really don't give a shit. I use // because it is easier and faster for me to write, especially while debugging and writing new code. Many compilers who were only C89 or ANSI compliant did in fact allow c99 / c++ style comments anyway Yours Truly, Calvin
