One of the nuisances in porting Dos/Windows code to Unix is that gcc expects traditional `/* ... */' comments and most newer Dos and Windows code uses `//'. What is needed is either a minor extension to gcc in future releases or a Unix utility that scans all text files in the current directory and converts comments. For the record, such a program takes about 38 KB and uses the `dirwalk' code in Kernighan and Ritchie "The C Programming Language, XX Edition".

What is needed is either a minor extension to gcc in What is needed is careful study of the docs, IMHO. Gcc already has an option to do this: use the `-Wa,-lang-c-c++-comments' switch to gcc. I think that latest versions of gcc (2.7.x) support this with even less hassle, but I'm not sure. The above switch works with gcc 2.6.3.
