Usually. ISO standards usually specify the language syntax but not the contents of comments. Programs are usually portable from one country to another. I have seen one exception. In C for System V (or at least some variants), identifiers can use non-Roman characters. It's a bit tough to remember that some of those kanji are variable names and not comments. -- Norman Diamond, Nihon DEC diamond@tkou02.enet.dec.com Proposed group comp.networks.load-reduction: send your "yes" vote to /dev/null.
