I personally like the // commenting style. Including it would not have been a major hassle for the ANSI committee, I beleive. It is very nice and quite quick when it comes to commenting out only one line of code. No going to end of line and adding a */...that gets annoying. for large blocks of code, I prefer the /* */ combination, and I also prefer it for "real" comments, ie. permanent programmer-programmer comments, not just temporarily stopping the compilation of a routine. By the way, // is supported by TC++ even when it is in .C compile mode only. Brian
