The choice of the 2-token sequence `/*' for starting a comment, was a mistake: printf("%d\n", *a/*b); Why didn't dmr take an otherwise illegal token, e.g. `@'? PS: `//' will fail too - think about it! -- "If it isn't aesthetically pleasing, |Maarten Litmaath @ VU Amsterdam: it's probably wrong." (jim at bilpin). |maart at cs.vu.nl, mcvax!botter!maart
